This is the answer unless you consider setting up a DIY home server fun, which often the kinds of people who recommend options for this kind of thing do... so just keep that context in mind here with recommendations.

Syncthing is a great solution and it is wayyyyy less a headache than any other DIY method I have done for replacing cloud/filesharing purposes.
