Syncthing if you want continuous sync. Rclone if you want periodic rsync-style copies. Both have web UIs, although they're definitely aimed at the power user and not novices. If they're non-technical users you probably want to setup a nextcloud or similar system so they get a more dropbox-like experience.

To clarify, priority is browsing, copying and moving stuff on same remote server, not copying data between machines. Thanks, will try these anyway. Trying this too https://cloudcmd.io

Edit: Cloud Commander works, gives you two-pane webgui with a row of Fx buttons below. F5 copies files locally.

"lsyncd" is really good for efficient, continuous sync. If you have password-less, public-key SSH auth, lsyncd is a bless (using it for millions of files and folders and doing good)
