+1 for keepassxc + syncthing
Also generally recommebd syncthing as a replacement for cloud storage for you phone pics and music and stuff.
Samesies!
One very important word of caution (unfortunately coming from experience): Syncthing, as the name suggests, makes it so the content of one device is the same as that of another device. So, even if you have one device set to only receive data, it means that if you delete a file from the sending device, the receiving device will also delete that file to stay in sync with the sending device.
There is a way to use Syncthing as a simple backup storage program (not necessarily the best solution but much better than manually backing up your files every few months and just hoping for the best). But it means that you have to use the advanced folder option "ignoreDelete". I also use the file versioning system, so even if something is automatically deleted by mistake, it's still versioned in a special subfolder and accessible to me.
