I want to degoogle and this is one of the last steps. The free versions of other services provide too little storage so I was wondering if I can make a cloud using my raspberry pi
Nextcloud
The most obvious answer. It is a little resource heavy though, so you would need at the very least a Pi 3, better a Pi 4.

This is what I run, but I run it on my media center which is real full workstation hardware since it runs media center stuff, plus all of my home server stuff. Nice thing about next cloud is you can use it to sync contacts, calendars, todos, Joplin, as well as just the box type storage application.
I would vote for syncthing as it can have better support if you need syncing across work firewalls. Also allows device-to-device sync, not just server-device. It’s a cool federated solution (like lemmy!).

This is what I use to sync notes between my mobile and pc. Sync only over wifi so I don’t have to bother with internet facing security issues, and my data doesn’t end up traveling outside my wifi.
Nextcloud. Do not forget to backup your data and sql db. Use mariadb or postgresql on initial setup and configure php-fpm, opcache and other tunings you may refer to documentation
Seafile. Nextcloud runs like ass, particularly on low powered devices like the Pi.
nextcloud.
owncloud ocis
Seafile
I set up SAMBA so that I don’t have to keep a copy of the content on my computer. I also don’t need an application. But, setting up the SAMBA server requires a few terminal commands and editing a text file.
I like CryptPad.
You could just use ssh/sftp too if you want to be Linux focused.
I’ve not used seafile, but I like the idea too. As I mentioned I use Nextcloud but I am not sure on a Pi.
If you only want the drive part of google–meaning just files–then seafile was way faster for me than nextcloud.
I’d recommend Immich if you want to replace Google Photos in particular and just a SSH/SFTP setup for saving files. A Raspberry Pi might be a bit underpowered tho.
