Cutting ties with Adobe (self.photography)

I currently have an Adobe CC subscription that I would really like to end, so am looking for some advice or recommendations. I have been searching around but am struggling to find alternatives due to some fairly strict requirements.

What I am looking for is a Lightroom style app for Linux and Android that would sync to the cloud, or ideally sync to my personal cloud storage. I'm happy to pay a one off lifetime payment but would prefer to donate to a FOSS project if possible.

I have started to play around with Darktable and do know that you can use remote storage but the syncing seems a little clunky.

Any suggestions at all will be very much appreciated.

Yeah Lightroom has its own built in cloud storage solution that syncs your edits but not the originals. It does have some nice functionality, like being able to share custom albums online as a public or private gallery, but obviously just keeps you hooked on the Adobe ecosystem.

I went for pcloud over nextcloud a few years ago, as at the time, I just needed large off-site file storage and they have very good deals on multi-terabyte lifetime subscriptions. I am currently looking at setting up my own NAS though and will probably go with nextcloud for that.
