What to use as file storage at home?

Question

FTP

Good afternoon!
I want to make a file storage at home in order to upload all sorts of movies, music, personal photos, work files and source codes of my projects there.
I would like to get access to these files from home (local), from work, from a friend's computer, from a garage, on vacation from a hotel.
FTP seems to be the ideal solution, but there are things that confuse: the lack of encryption. I would not like that when I connected from the left place to swing something, some bad person sniffed everything.
Therefore, the question is: what to use for such purposes, except for ftrp? It is desirable that the solution be as versatile as possible on different operating systems (ideally, as with FTP, you could go there without third-party software at all) and encryption is required.
Thanks for the replies
UPDNow I use SFTP, I don’t really like jamming before starting each operation, the need to use all sorts of tricks to get into a specific folder when connecting, and not the user’s home, and there are some problems with deleting: it’s difficult to delete folders that contain other folders.
UPD2 I would like to know about FTPS, does anyone have experience? How compatible with standard FTP and what are the pitfalls?

It seems Nextcloud is a great option for such a task. If there is no iron, you can economically Raspberry Pi / ODROID-C2 with USB-HDD.
