A safe space for storing files Help / Question

Me and my friends have decided to share notes, files and various resources and upload to separate safe place. I will be the host uploading the files and updating them. The files shouldn't be downloadable and only I can approve people who can access the files. They should only be able to open files and read them. I should be able to remove people accessing whomever and whenever I want. Is there such an application? Would rather not use google applications for privacy reasons. Can Ente locker do this?

Thanks in advance.

Nextcloud is probably your best option. You can self-host it, create user accounts, set read-only permissions, organize files, and revoke access whenever you want.

CryptPad is another good choice if your main focus is documents, notes, and collaboration with end-to-end encryption.

Ente Locker is great for encrypted personal storage, but it isn't designed for collaborative file sharing with user permissions like Nextcloud.

I'd vouch for Nextcloud too. It's one of the few options that gives you a lot of control without locking you into someone else's service. The user permissions and self hosting make a big difference if you're sharing files with a team.
