I have Nextcloud setup on my server. Its mainly used for friends and family to dump photos and videos onto so everyone gets a copy of everyones pics and videos. Usually after family trips, concerts, camping weekends etc. I will usually put mine there for anyone to download and they can add to the collection

But nextcloud just annoys me. On the backend I have so much drama updating it and usually just do a full rebuild, and on the user end everyone always gets sick of the constant verbal updates it wants and I just really dont want to deal with it anymore.

Whats the other solution? I want something simple like FTP server that people can just log onto easily but want it at least a little more secure.

    Check out synology. They have a nice suite of apps for photo backup, documents, ect. Can’t run it on your own hardware but if your looking for easy and simple it can’t really be beat IMO

    I use Immich. It’s basically self-hosted Google Photos. It supports multiple users, automated backups, album creation/sharing, and some nifty facial recognition.

    It also supports sharing a link to people without an account to view and add to an album.

    The downside is this is purely for pictures and videos.
