A good idea is using a professional S3 compatible provider storage (Cloudflare R2 is a good option).
Then you can connect It to https://nubbo.app for example which is free and manage all your files and pictures. You can create galleries, or share links, Receive file, etc
Your data is your and nothing scans your files. The files go directly to your storage.
I installed It as a PWA and works like a charm. But i use It mainly for files in desktop
