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 If your issues mainly is around files and photos, look at a Nextcloud provider. I can't tell what else you need from your description. Online Office? Magic?

@paulk i don't need online office. I need a phone solution, as stated. I don't know if you're being facetious with your magic comment so I'll ignore it.

@Niall Right. Nextcloud has a good application for Android and iOS so that would work for accessing files and photos.

I've read good things about Pcloud but I have no hands-on experience with it so that might be worth reading up.

Good luck de-bigteching!

Maybe @paulk meant Magisk?

"... a suite of open source software for customizing Android ..."

@strypey Nope, I meant magic, but nice to learn about Magisk!

Then I don't understand what your point was either. If you were implying that an online office using Free Code would be magic, that's possible with OnlyOffice. Our demo combines it with NextCloud, to create a pretty good GoggleDocs/Drive replacement;

Online office in a web app is also possible with LibreOffice;
