That depends, why "besides NextCloud"? Syncthing always gets a lot of traction here. But what do you actually need to share? Folders? Or links to content? PDF? Archives? Matrix homeservers and clients support most mime types in chat, including zip, so you can send anything and have it searchable in the chat as long as you maintain the matrix server. Misskey has a "drive" feature, where all media you share goes, but y…
Yeah know about Syncthing but it's "just" a sync tool. For my SO I would need something which a nice UI so it's easy to find what was shared, and I also want to be anle to share file links with others. As for besides NextCloud, just to check my blind spot.
As i recommended to parent, buy a synology. It does everything both of you are talking about. If you're only trying to sync between computers, just use CIFS - \\192.168.0.5\sharename\ - in windows right click "this PC" on the left in an explorer window and "Map Network Drive". For cellphones, there's "DS" apps for all the features that the webUI exposes - File browser, audio player, surveillance (NVR is built in, or was), video system similar to plex/netflix but called DS video. and that's all "out of the box" - there's several dozen "addons" that are click-to-install.
and look, i am sure qnap and Aghyzzicgh from aliexpress might do this too, but i can't speak to them. I bought a synology on recommendation from a friend. My first one got hit by lightning (yes) and i had to buy a new NAS but the drives still work. i've replaced the original drives, but they still work. i installed one in my kid's machine to hold games. My current synology is a 4-bay dualcore with 2GB of ram.
it works perfectly for all this stuff. my phone automatically backs up photos to it when i connect to wifi, for example. If you put your syno on a public IP, you can hotlink to content on it. there may be ACL shenanigans, i have no idea. I don't use it that way.
why don't i use my synology that way?
Because i run a public nextcloud instance to be able to synchronize my photos and documents and hotlink them.

+1 synology has been a surprisingly competent docker home server. I decided I wasn't interested in any of the services that require an account with them and was pleasantly surprised everything works fine without signing into any synology services. I thought about building something but I wasn't confident in any of the free NAS OS's on offer. Synology has a nice interface for managing users, containers, and sends me drive health reports on its own email address via SMTP. Low drama environment.
I love Immich [0] for photos, Jellyfin [1] works great for music and movies, just spun up a memos container for notes. For documents and stuff I would use dropbox for I just FTP into with Cyberduck or Filezilla.
