Hi I apologize if Im out of my depth because I am just starting to
learn about self hosting.

I am looking for a cloud service, nextcloud seems good but im not sure
considering this sub is saying it has performance issues. I want know
if I could make it so that a password is always required before the
file can be accessed or a way to revoke access after a certain time.

I’ve been using file browser for this for years

You can use Nextcloud for this, share up to a certain date, with or
without password. With "Flows" you can even delete the file after X
days.

If you just need a simple selfhosted WeTransfer replacement, checkout
psitransfer. Very minimal, but sufficient for a lot of of use cases.

use `filebrowser` and manually revoke access when you want

or use `transfer.sh` -- the URL itself is randomised, so it kinda
sorta "if you squint" acts like a password, and it autodeletes after a
set time (which you can configure)
