What makes Samba annoying? I think it's perfect for its intended use (LAN).
replyIf you need to share files externally, Nextcloud works very much like Google Drive and allows the creation of sharable links.
Nextcloud, Samba serving SMB isn't really equivalent.
replyI don't get how Samba is not there yet. We already have everything in the OS, the UI, the mental model, the protocols, how come it's such a terrible experience that we need to re-invent the wheel in web 2.0.. Maybe we need a Jarred Sumner to fix it.
replyNextcloud also has lots of interesting plugins. I recently found a viable Splitwise alternative I chucked on my instance.
replySyncthing is very nice.
replyIs not the same though. It requires downloading the entire shared folder. That doesn't work when I have 100+GB of files and I want to share it with my phone
replyI have nothing but issues with it, mostly because the iOS/Android apps are notoriously bad at syncing the files timely and also because of ridiculous filename restrictions on Android.

replyIf you dont need filesharing, you can just setup wireguard, setup a network drive on your phone's files app.l, and then when connected it'll feel like native file browsing.
replyI only share with one person so we use Seafile
