nextcloud.com
The most popular open source content collaboration platform for tens of millions of users at thousands of organizations across the globe

So with almost zero knowledge about next cloud or even cloud services I have embarked on creating such a complex project. The idea is essentially involving a rpi 4 , ups power supply , a pendrive. For everyone I think that limiting gdrive storages are a headache along with that the data may not be secure. So I was thinking of building a internalized rpi hosted next cloud integrated server with all android and even laptop. So that I reduce dependency of Google for storing all my photos along with creating a secure environment for my data . I have basic knowledge of ssh and little bit linux but this , this is frankly uncharted territory. I severely need links sources and much experience in order to accomplish such a task . I’ll be running along with this an encrypted program that will decrypt whenever I need it . The whole setup will be connected to my router wirelessly that will upload and download stuff to my rpi . Theoretically I really intend to include my own data to train my AI but currently I am faced with this problem . Thank you for hearing me out , I just need basic guidance nothing else

    Also check out Syncthing. I have it running on my Pi5, PCs and my Android phone. The phone’s photos directory and lots of other files are automatically synced to my server and computers. No open firewall port is needed, everything is encrypted in transit and it supports trusted and untrusted hosts. Syncthing supports pretty much any topology, but I’ve found using star topology is easiest to manage.

      Synching is incredibly useful, my list of synced folders keeps getting longer, my list of added devices keeps growing. I pray the never drop android support!

        android support is not official, so they won’t drop it. and currently we are using a fork of the formerly popular android app because the original’s maintainer (btw one of the original lemmy devs) got fed up with the google play store’s fuckery.
