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).

There are plenty if you drop the free requirement.
Hosting a server does cost money.

I don't think OP was looking for free hosting. Free software, yes, sure.

The software is always free

I definitely don't mind paying, in fact I prefer it. The service being free was never a requirement from my side. Can you recommend some alternatives?

Proton has a new Linux CLI client, and the Android APK is available for direct download.

I don't know if the Linux client has been Open Sourced yet.

I think you already have recommendations for the others I know of.
