What's the best alternative for Google drive? I also went this route but Samba is a bit annoying sometimes

What makes Samba annoying? I think it's perfect for its intended use (LAN).

If you need to share files externally, Nextcloud works very much like Google Drive and allows the creation of sharable links.

Nextcloud, Samba serving SMB isn't really equivalent.

If you dont need filesharing, you can just setup wireguard, setup a network drive on your phone's files app.l, and then when connected it'll feel like native file browsing.
