I have very simple needs for file hosting and syncing. The files are mostly small text files and documents. And I need to access them from linux, windows and android devices.

Just a simple SFTP account on one of my work servers is probably enough for hosting. I guess the focus is on reliable client side syncing. Changes made the files from clients should sync seamlessly with some basic conflict handling just in case.

Can anyone recommend your current setups and sync clients in use?

    Seafile or nextcloud are my choices. I like seafile because it has an official and documented way to install it but nextcloud works well too just installing it can be tricky. One thing I like about sea file is they have a remote filesystem app that supports Linux and works better than nextcloud and webdav
