Hi I apologize if Im out of my depth because I am just starting to learn about self hosting.

I am looking for a cloud service, nextcloud seems good but im not sure considering this sub is saying it has performance issues. I want know if I could make it so that a password is always required before the file can be accessed or a way to revoke access after a certain time.

use filebrowser and manually revoke access when you want

or use transfer.sh -- the URL itself is randomised, so it kinda sorta "if you squint" acts like a password, and it autodeletes after a set time (which you can configure)
