What is the best software for a self-hosted file cloud service? (lemmygrad.ml)

I want to store files on my server to avoid google cloud and other services.

I'm looking for FOSS software.

I want all the files to be encrypted client side with a masterpassword via an app or a web interface, the server must not have access to them.

An included android app for uploading and downloading would be nice.

I guess what I'm looking for is some kind of FTP server?

why would it work better without encryption? I don't see any loss in having client side encryption tbh. common security practices are cool but there are new security vulnerabilities everyday.

Nextcloud encryption isn't perfect, and you will lose some functionality (e.g. image preview). You could think about encrypting only what you think is particularly sensible, with something like cryptomator
