I want to selfhost cloud drive and looking for what would be the best option. I originally used Nextcloud, but it has a lot of features not related to file hosting so I would be interested in something simpler. I found out about Cozy Cloud (https://cozy.io) but there is really little info about that. Has anyone used that and how does it compare to Nextcloud?
I never heard of Cozy, but it looks quite nice. The Self-Hosting Documentation ist a bit lacking, but https://github.com/cozy/cozy-stack-compose contains all required information to set it it up yourself.

Cozy seems to be in a similar situation, where file storage is just one of many features that it provides. If you want just files, it might be the best idea to just use any WebDAV Server or something like File Browser.
