Since my daughter was born I am searching for a solution to share pictures of our child with my wife and create a copy of each smartphones photos and other files (documents).
At first I tried nextcloud, but there is a lot of overhead and the administration feels kind of complex for what I need.
Anyone else having some input on which software to use?
So my main goal is:
Software running on raspberry pi (preferable docker).
Has abilities like shared folder where pictures and documents get uploaded from multiple users and can be viewed (collaboration editing is not needed).
Automatically copy files from smartphone (android) to raspberry from selected folder for a simple redundancy.

It’s changing settings to only allow one way sync and disable deletion. The sync folder basically becomes an automatic archive destination.
They are soooo close to having this cool tool, but many feature requests have been shot down because it’s not a true sync. I get it, but it sucks too.
Oh I see, have you tried file versioning?
