   Is NextCloud the only way to have a folder that's accessible over the web for Windows? 🤔

   Been wanting to do this without paying extra for a NAS. I have like 10 TB of storage on my windows PC and it'd be quite useful if I can utilize it for backing up my iPhone and Android pics/videos.

     @eddyizm Ah! That seems pretty neat!

     However, I'm looking for something that's more "manual" if that makes sense.

     I don't want everything to be backed up. Only what I choose and preferably could just interact with the hosted file folder directly from other devices. Similar to FTP, I guess, but not FTP.😬

     @BeAware I use syncthing to get my stuff off my android phone, then a local script on the receiving computer to backup everything.
     Thay way once I am synced , I can delete off my phone, deletes get synced but my data is backed up complete.

     @BeAware maybe a simple WebDAV server? Never tried to run one on Windows but a quick search brings up some projects

     @kiraso This is what I'm looking for, really. However, with windows networking, could it be accessible outside of localhost? Unfortunately I don't have access to the router so that I can forward ports...😬 Is there another way it could be done without needing to do that?🤔

     I *could* technically host it in a datacenter and use backblaze b2 for the storage via rclone, but that defeats the purpose of using my 10TB of local storage.🤷♂️

     @BeAware you mean outside of local network? If it's just for your mobile devices I'd setup #tailscale for a private VPN without touching the router.
