E2EE cloud storage providers with FOSS clients? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

It doesn't seem to exist. I'd like a solution to upload and sync my photos and my KeePass database, but I'm really hesitant to upload personal photos unencrypted to services exposed to the internet. Unfortunately self-hosting a Nextcloud instance on my LAN isn't possible at this moment, but maybe a VPS with a strict firewall and a mesh VPN like Tailscale or Netbird? But honestly I'd rather just pay someone for the trouble.

What do you suggest? Clients need to be FOSS and available on Linux and Android, and on Android they need to be available on F-Droid (thus no proprietary blobs or libraries from Google).

The drama has mostly been cleared up. This is the current Syncthing fork on F droid: https://github.com/researchxxl/syncthing-android . I don't see any signs of AI slop here.

If you don't trust that for whatever reason, there is also an alternative android app (on f droid ofc), which runs the Syncthing daemon, and which you can configure through the web ui: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.chiller3.basicsync/

Or, you can forgo android apps entirely, and run Syncthing directly in Termux (f droid link), via the Termux package. There is also the option of emulating a Linux distro in Termux and using the version of Syncthing packaged for Alpine/Debian/Arch's ARM versions. Though, that setup, with distro prooting, is a bit more involved. There also might be issues with Android killing background processes.
