I have been doing this for years. One I would suggest you look up NextCloud
for a possible solution. It will give you almost the same feature-set that
you get with box, or google drive.
On cos port 80 is blocked, but you can use port 443 which makes life rather
simple. and some finagling with letsencrypt you can have a trusted ssl
certificate. And finally there are a number of Dynamic DNS options. My
current favorite is Google Domains as they give you dyndns features as part
of your registration.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
