Boost for reach please!

Does anyone know of a turnkey 'de-bigtech' solution, service or facilitator? My attempts have stalled and fallen into the 'too hard' basket. I am willing to pay. Not sure how much.. what's your price? Preferably NZ based but most locations except USA and hell considered.

My main email is somewhere I'm happy with but I need to point a number of my subscriptions to it instead of Google.
Photos are all in Google
Files mainly Dropbox
Phone Android
OS Linux on a laptop, win on desktop
Software almost all FOSS/Linux except a couple of things which only run nicely on windows.

Nexcloud plus graphene(?) phone plus Linux seems like it could work but I am 100% sure I'm not the one to do it.

@Niall Jottacloud is good (Norway) and covers photos and files pretty well. For more comprehensive photos, immich is amazing, but not turnkey and requires tech knowledge to install.

They're transparent about the Free Code libraries their service depends on, which is great;

https://docs.jottacloud.com/en/articles/2096789-third-party-libraries

These seem to be their code repos;

But I'm struggling to figure out whether their full software stack is under free licenses. I can't see anything on their website that clarifies.

Our cloud service runs on great open source software

RMS would say it's only the apps and JS you run on your own devices that matter in this respect. In a sense, if you can't use their service with your choice of apps, or keeping using their apps with a different service, you're still locked in even if 100% of the software they use us under a free license.

But I guess it's akin to seeing an organic certification on a food product. It's not a guarantee that it's sustainable or health my, but it suggests the company cares about these things.
