I backup files (images and videos, mostly) to Nextcloud using the Nextcloud app, and sync my contacts and calendars to Nextcloud as well using DAVdroid. For 2FA tokens, it depends on whether I root the phone or not (Aegis authenticator app with backups for when I don't root it). Basically, the only thing I lose is usually SMS messages since all the other messengers seem to keep message history server side (like Telegram).

Nextcloud can watch directories and automatically upload new files created in these.

I use this to sync every photo and video I take immediately, as well as to back up the backups generated daily by Signal.
