Use syncthing - open source, free, low resource usage, etc.

Interesting, but no iOS client or WebDAV support. That would prevent me from using it.

Most developer/engineer types have a private server and that’s a great place to install Nextcloud. Nextcloud has cross platform clients, supports strong authenticators (U2F), and open protocols like WebDAV. I even use it to sync org-mode files across many devices with great success.

The lack of (fully working[1]) iOS client is a giant glaring hole in the SyncThing ecosystem. Which is a shame because it works really well across my various machines and servers.

[1] fsync() seems to have been abandoned but still partially works on my phone - only local networks and you have to manually add folders by ID.

Nextcloud has a pretty sweet iOS app that integrates your files stored there with the iOS 'files' apis.

(And/or you can use any WebDAV client)

Next cloud has always been slow for me

Nextcloud was slow for me when I tried it on a RaspPi. I have since moved it to a server (Intel NUC) and it runs significantly better for me now.
