I used a free Dropbox account to share photos with my family, and other files. I ran out of the free 5GB.

I had an old Raspberry Pi 3 lying around, which I had bought for 25€, 4 or 5y ago. I installed nextcloud on it. Runs smoothly at 1.3 Watt. 500MB RAM, data on a 64GB SD card. Can be increased.

Love it Christian. I too use Nextcloud for this but not on a small raspberry pi. Nice

Does it come with a Dropbox-like data sync service that keeps a folder synced? If yes, that could be a very interesting alternative to OneDrive, which I'm using now 🤔

It does!

Cool! Already started looking at how to deploy it directly at my NAS. That would be awesome.

For the moment I have it not yet exported (w. port forwarding) outside of my router, since it's not yet encrypted. I am looking into this.

Also, I found this tutorial very helpful:
