  For remote connection, you can use Tailscale along with Material Files and SMB/SFTP.

    I honestly prefer selfhosting my home vpn using Wireguard or OpenVPN.

      Yes. But that would assume that OP is not behind CGNAT. Also, even with Static IP, if I had to just do file transfer over SSH, I would use Tailscale over selfhosting wireguard. But that’s my personal take on this.

        Yeah getting stuck behind CGNAT IPv4 and no IPv6 would break setting up your own vpn server. That would cause me too look for another internet provider.
        I only got 100mbps at home so I’m still running openvpn as I don’t gain anything worthwhile from wireguard.

  Material Files + SFTP is a winning combination. You probably already have SSH configured and it is quite secure.

  I highly recommend this one.

  If all you’re looking for is a way to send files from your phone to your server, this is the simplest way to do it.

  Share your server volume as a SMB, mount to phone via Material Files.

  There is also FX which can do this too, additionally you can browse/download/upload files to/from the phone locally from PC through browser (the app opens up a web server).
