FOSS version of google drive or other drives that I can host on a raspberry pi (lemmy.ml)

I want to degoogle and this is one of the last steps. The free versions of other services provide too little storage so I was wondering if I can make a cloud using my raspberry pi

I would vote for syncthing as it can have better support if you need syncing across work firewalls. Also allows device-to-device sync, not just server-device. It's a cool federated solution (like lemmy!).

In my experience syncthing is used to keep a folder on multiple devices in parity. So deletinga file in the folder on your desktop will also remove it from the linked folder.

Google drive is like a secondary hard drive. Files do not need to match the host files
