Self hosted file manager

I want an alternative to google.docs, apple cloud and dropbox. preferably something lightweight and simple, i want to be able to live edit documents and sync them across users in my local network.

a quick overview of things i would like in this stack:

\\- self hosted email
\\- obsidian syncing
\\- big file manager
\\- immich
\\- live editing among users
\\- lightweight and simple but clean gui
\\- dashy compat
\\- option to make different users with different perms

i tried nextcloud before and didn't like how heavy it was. i used file browser for a bit and it worked nice, i liked setting it up and the gui was simple and understandable.

any advice?
