Nextcloud sync my own data with phone

Hello,

I want to sync all my data with the phone, I want to achieve this effect:

All data from /home/myusername is accessible (and editable) from my phone
All data from /home/mywifename is accessible (and editable) from her phone
All data created in our phones sync with our data in PC (mainly photos/videos/contacts).

So something like two-way sync our phones with our local PC accounts.

What is the easiest way to achieve it?
I suppose that I need to create my own nextcloud server, right?
Of course the best would be if that nextcloud instance will start automatically when we start our PC.
Is there any good know-how to do that?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Nextcloud sync my own data with phone

Everyone puts the nextcloud client on their phone to connect to a common nextcloud server.
You can have private directories and shared directories. 
It stories copies of what's on the nextcloud server to the clients.  Given they have access to those directories.
Just a user for you and a user for your wife and it stores them separately unless you share some directory.

Maybe you need the nextcloud client from AUR for arch.

Thanks for answers, as far as I understand, Syncthing is something similar to nextcloud, yes? So I try to set up the second one.
