I want that when I install Nextcloud on a PC to synchronize files it does it like OneDrive, that is, it synchronizes the important folders that only add a shortcut to the explorer and that I can decide where those synchronized folders are saved. I have tried synchronizing the entire user but then it also copies useless files and I only care about what is in: Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Music, Videos, Images which are personal files. I am on Windows 11. I have also tried synchronizing separately but then in the explorer it creates those shortcuts too and I only want one to access the data in general, not duplicate folders.

Nextcloud cannot syncronize files, where shortcuts lead to. So the shortcuts themselves will be synchronized. - Works as designed.

You may check the OneDrive integration-App of Nextcloud, whether it will be the right one for your needs.

And isn’t there any other alternative program to NextCloud to synchronize files on the server?

As fas as i see: no. Maybe an other user in this forum knows a better solution.
