I have an raspberry pi 4 (the one with 4gb ram) that has a case, I
have also a Seagate 4TB HDD that is empty, and Ethernet cable to use.
My router is an Asus RT-AC2900

I wish to mainly use it for storing files and videos/movies on it and
being able to easily transfer files between Windows 10 computers
(samba that is?)
As well to directly on my Google Chrome Google TV, be able watch
videos from that hard drive.

Additional be able to access it over internet and to backup my
download folder on my Android phone (OnePlus)

I did try openmediavault, I got it working at home as well connect to
internet, but didn't find way to automatically backup my download
folder on phone.

Now I have NextCloudpi installed but, I find it have way more than I
need, it makes tons of folders by itself, overall I find it confusing
and I'm bombarded with notifications about errors I spent lots of time
trying fix, one problem after another.

I do now remember, I was running OwnCloud couple years ago on it, I
recall it was more basic once it was up and running, and I thought to
try it.

However, I ask for suggestions, something that is kind of basic but
covers what my usage will be. If there's something else than owncloud
that is suggested. Or if it's worth trying figure out nextcloud, which
seems just way complex and tools that I won't need really either.

Thanks in advance

I wouldnt.

Nextcloud is the stable Part with functions.

Wouldnt recommend owncloud since its worse in every aspekt.

Maybe syncthing etc?

Have a look at [Seafile](https://www.seafile.com/en/home/), it might
be the thing you are looking for.
Or have a look at the [awesome-selfhosted](https://github.com/awesome-
selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#file-transfer--synchronization) on
Github, there are some more recources to find something suitable for
your need.

Open Media Vault + Syncthing.

Thanks for suggestions! I'd probably stay then with nextcloud trying
fix my errors- however I stumbled by home assistant, I never knew of
it, great because I've a lot of smart home devices already. And
setting up the hard drive connected to the pi was just a click, and
addon for samba and ftp I found fairly easy with no errors along my
way this time. Been using it for the past week now. So it just ended
my final pick :)
