Is there an active self-hostable solution similar to Dropbox, GDrive? NextCloud not considered, too bloated, not polished.

Seems like the only option for something that can be on a multipurpose PC.

Set up your folders, get your devices synced, and it pretty much sorts itself from there.

I've had minor temporary issues with Syncthing, nothing that hasn't been fixed quickly (and have yet to had them happen again).

Great for music and photos between PC and phone and for transfers between music production PC and gaming PC. Better than Dropbox and GDrive for most purposes (lacking support for online link sharing, which isn't very important)
