Years and years ago. I see you've tried many things but not described whatever issues you may have had with them. I use Nextcloud running on a NAS which also runs a Wireguard endpoint so I have access via VPN to my home network when I am traveling. It's not perfect but does what I want it to do syncing a folder of files between Linux, Windows, and macOS systems, and the iOS app works well enough.

I don't use it for large scale file storage, such as photos or media. Those are on the NAS and accessed through traditional SMB file shares.

Syncthing was unreliable for me, I would not always sync stuff. I'd have two machines on and sitting next to each other on the same network and not see sync happening.

I tried to install nextcloud on a digital ocean droplet and a borked installation corrupted everything in a way I didn't think was even possible on Linux. I had to restore from a backup.

I tried to use owncloud locally on a raspberry pi but the client app on Mac and Windows, I tried for about a week to get it to sync but every time I opened up either machine I seemed to have to stop and restart the client and even then it wouldn't always connect.
