Wow - super awesome replies from everyone. :P Thanks... I *did* like the NextCloud install and I think I should give that another run since its a whole-household solution... Guess I could take it to the next level and point it outward if I needed to. Deon is the 2nd person to suggest Syncthing, for various usecases... I might have to dig into it, too. I've never installed it so I think I'll spin up an install and check it out. Neat that Cozmo uses OneDrive - I guess the only reason I never tried IT is b/c Windows pushes it so much... close-minded; I also think Google Drive [and Google Photos] is a smart choice as its a 'NextCloud on steroids' and easily integrates with any device you need, from anywhere you are.

This was a great response, thanks all. I'll be trying out some of the options ya'll suggested. :P w00t w00t!
