Is there any way currently to connect two computers via usb cable and
have one of them pretend to be a usb storage device for the other?
Thanks,

Without special hardware, no.
With special hardware, yes.

Storage devices usually have a fixed disk size, but when you want to
export "/" through a storage device, this becomes a bit problematic,
since one can resize the partition online, mount subtrees, etc. etc. Better
try Ethernet-over-USB and some sort of networked filesystem.
