I switched from dropbox to nextcloud recently. I use pis for VPN gateways and DNS servers, but don't trust them for things like data storage.

I host nextcloud via TrueNAS SCALE running on a dual E5 + 4x2TB NVMe. TrueNAS handles the docker images with a kubernetes cluster managed by middleware. Straying from default settings is a time-consuming path, but the defaults work great.

Nextcloud doesn't feel perfect with lots of UI jank (initial photo upload was a real headache), but I trust the data put there will not delete itself. I love having the ability to selectively view and sync files with native OS explorers on windows, mac, and iOS. iOS photo backup with live photos is also something no other solution I've seen can compete with.
