Check out the nextcloudpi project. Paid once for the pi/drive/case 4 years ago and been a happy user ever since.

It's been so worry free that when I had to move house I had to read the docs again to make sure I do things right. And that's on top of me studying the project well enough the first time I set it up that I ended up contributing some patches.

P.S. There are hosted offerings for nextcloud but for a household with 2-5 users I think nextcloudpi has the best value proposition.

You need to set up a dynamic DNS, right?

Yes. I 've used a free offering from https://freedns.afraid.org/ until I bought a domain of my own. There are other free offerings if you look around.

Look at the documentation for the best supported options.
