I have a VPS server in the cloud that I use for wireguard. I got the idea to also use it to host a shared folder across my devices: Linux laptop and Android phone.

I started doing some research on this, and would welcome pointers.

    Syncthing. I switched from Dropbox to syncthing several years ago when Dropbox started enshitifying and never looked back.

    I think SFTP would work plenty. On linux you can use rclone to mount it, and Android has many file managers that support it (personal favorite is Total Commander with the SFTP plugin)

    You could also certainly host a full Nextcloud instance, but it might be a bit overkill

    I’ve been using self-hosted Seafile for quite a while and can recommend it.
