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 Just a slightly different option: Synology servers come with a whole bunch of ready to go services. Photos, music, backups, office suite with browser apps. You can host your own without having to get technical.
It's not open source but you pay once for the box then you own it.

@essjax @Niall I mean you can do the same with ugreen and stuff, where you have more control if you feel like it.

With synology you are at their corporate whims when they decide they don't want you using "off the shelf" drives again... glares at his synology

I wrote up notes on how I do my offsite backup. It was expensive to setup, but other than Synology raising eyebrows at my choice of hard drive vendor it's mostly out of the control of US-based companies.

@futuresprog @essjax @Niall at least they walked that back, but still, sour about it.

I popped in a fresh disk last week, DSM7, all up to date. It said, “hmmm, you know this isn’t a disk we recommend” and then I clicked the “whatever bro” button and continued to add it to the array.

I have another disk to add. I’ll get a screenshot.
