Could you build this?
Partial The storage and UI are standard, but correct end-to-end encryption with on-device key management, sync, and mobile clients is security-critical and easy to get subtly wrong.
What it would actually take: Build a self-hosted server (for example, S3-compatible or a simple object store) plus clients that encrypt on device with a vetted library such as libsodium. The hard parts are key derivation and recovery, encrypted sync and deduplication, and a threat model reviewed by someone who knows applied cryptography.
