Want to make a small server to replace Google Drive for files and photo backup from phone. Need software advice.
I don't take a massive amount of photos, but between my files and random pictures or videos I take I'm running up against the Google storage limits. I could buy more but I would like to have more control and don't necessarily want all my personal stuff in the cloud.
I'm not currently interested in streaming media. I don't currently need an email server, although it might be nice to forward emails to my server for storage.
I would like photos and videos from my phone to automatically back up to my server. They currently automatically back up to Google. I use an android phone.
I would also like to be able to access my server from a PC (windows) to upload or download files. But not just my personal PC. I can access Drive from anywhere and I'd like to access my server remotely the same way.
I don't currently have the hardware but figured I'd just buy a small mini pc or build a small computer. Even something like a 512 GB m.2 is going to be massive compared to what I need.
I'm familiar with Linux a little. I have Mint on an old laptop that I've played around with but I'm mostly familiar with windows.
Assuming decent hardware, what software am I looking at to make this happen?
