Looking into self hosting my own file server. Few requirements:
Direct access in windows file explorer, either via SMB, Webdav, or their own client. 1.
Access on android, via either a functioning app, or PWA. WebDav/SMB does work, but I’d rather have native support. 1.
Access in the browser with a decent looking UI, supporting media playback. 1.
Ability to setup UserA being able to see UserB and UserB being able to see UserA files in the file explorer. Ideally without some workaround like symlinks. 1.
Easy access to the files on the disk for backup. 1.
Integration into authentik for identity. 1.

Nextcloud looks promising. But I’ve read complaints about their android app. I also don’t know what would be the easiest way to do userA <-> userB, maybe just using the collaboration function?
I love the UI of CloudReve. But unsure how well it works on android. Seems like it depends exclusively on webdav on android, unless it is a functioning PWA. Same thing on userA <-> B
Any insights on either nextcloud or Cloudreve for my situation? Or wanna throw a contender that I’m not thinking of that fits my needs well?
