In addition to other suggestions, there's Collabora Online
You might also wanna check yunohost.org . It's a well organized self hosting platform where you can install with few clicks and has huge amount of Foss apps, including office and media ones and Nextcloud that others suggested.
or if you don´t want to host it yourself: https://qlick.cloud and use Nextcloud which comes with Collabora Online installed.
I adore Seafile and this looks like a great option. I haven't been able to get it going on my instance yet, but I'm still learning all of this self hosting and FOSS stuff.
Nextcloud needs a heaping helping of a disclaimer before anyone installs it.
Use the Docker or Podman images, they'll include most things a lot of first time users leave out that render Nextcloud buggy and inconsistent. It includes a cache, and about half of the security issues preconfigured out of the box.
Installing it native from a guide with zero explanation beyond "welp, there's the start page" as the final step really doesn't do much for people and there's a lot of guides out there like that for Nextcloud.
Even with Docker, my feeling is that BC is something extremely fragile andd one has to be quite careful when updating it, for instance.
I've been using Nextcloud docker for quite some time, updated it countless times, have never had any problems whatsoever.
After a lot of searching (granted, years ago) I landed on
Nextcloud with only office.
Nextcloud is pretty awesome. Open source, well supported, new versions like once or twice a year, aetric shittonne of plugins, its awesome.
Onlyoffice feels a lot like Microsoft office, but is online open source, and allows multi user editing, which was always a bit of a pain point with colabora.
I’m using Onlyoffice and it works really well. Although I use it with kDrive from Infomaniak, I’m almost sure you can run it on your own server.
In fact I managed to ditch Google for everything but I can’t find a good replacement for Google photos which I’m not using anymore.

Immich is trying to be that, but it's still in heavy development.
Also here a comparison of multiple ones: https://docs.librephotos.com/docs/user-guide/features/
Immich is working pretty well for me. Even the search does a decent job of recognizing the things in the pictures.
I'm not sure what Google photos has that Immich doesn't, and I've been using Google photos for years.
The mobile app sometimes gets stuck while updating new photos, or just doesn't run the upload in background even though it's activated. The web app looks and feels great though.
You do have to turn off battery saver for the background process. Phones tend to not like background processes. That would cause the behavior you're seeing.
Settings > Apps > App battery usage > Immich > Set to "unrestricted"
Also I have mine set to a ten minute delay, maybe that's why I haven't noticed. Maybe try adding a small delay to the load?
(Primarily I wanted a chance to delete photos before they uploaded.)
Thanks for the answer.
I remember looking at these but I think the fact that the pictures would be on my kDrive was also a problem.
Maybe with something like WebDAV it could work.
