No. Save your sats. You don't need to pay for cloud providers or personal NAS hardware.
Save your sats! They are precious.
Read my comment above—Just use Syncthing.
No, you are wrong, some people need more than just few folders between a dummy laptop and a mobile.
Also sometimes is needed to share with other people or family multiple folders.
What you are talking is just for few images and shit.

sometimes is needed to share with other people
If you need to share files with other people (outside your close family), sure... that makes sense.
But the OP mentioned his wife, they are living together(i assume), Syncthing would work just fine for them. Their photos would always be synced when they are at home (on the same network).

I've got 350 GB of files synced between my phone and laptop, via Syncthing. Both of them have 512 GB of total disk.
Clouds are a noobie trap. Personal NAS only makes sense if you've got huge amounts of GB files. For most people(normies) Syncthing is enough.
reply
Is not about the amount of GB...
There are many ways to use a shared NAS and people need various type of access, but seems that you do not understand that or never worked in such environment.
ofc using a bullshit hosted cloud it doesn't make sense, but a home NAS is a powerful tool if you know how to use it. Is not only about sharing some dummy files.

I'm focusing on the OP simple use case:
storing some information and sharing photos with his wife.He didn't mention anything else.
Syncthing is the easiest most elegant solution for him and is wife imho.

@DarthCoin @Skipper Many thanks to both of you for this great debate full of good information that invites me to continue discovering more things that I still don't know about.
I will investigate more about both solutions to find a solution to my family's need.
I understand that it is good to have powerful storage at home and that's it. Sicornizing a laptop and phone is not a bad option, but the option of having encrypted files on the Internet, in this case the cloud, is not ruled out either. So that we can access them from anywhere in the world. Even if we have lost our phone or laptop. With the keys or codes that unlock the information, we can have it again, even if we lost the physical backups (laptop and phone).

Proton Drive is your best option then. Give it a try with a free account before you comit to a paid plan.

That's what I thought as a short-term solution.
use cryptomator to encrypt my files (photos-documents-etc.) and store them on this type of service for an online backup.
