Looks like most of their services are also foss. Says their cloud service is powered by nextcloud, and pad is powered by Etherpad, upload by Lufi, etc. So, OP could probably just self-host most of these really easily. Hardest one would probably be email. That’s a whole 'nother beast for most. Especially since most residential IPs are blacklisted. You almoat always need to cloud-host that.
My cloud-hosting knowledge is a bit dated, bit I bet there are webhosting places that do the email bit for you, you juat pay the monthly fee to use their auto-gen instance of mailcow or whatever.
For email, you just pay for a host that will let you use your own domain. It’s usually a lot cheaper than getting a static IP and you can easily switch hosts while keeping your email address.
It’s not really even worth attempting to self host your own outbound email these days. It’s a lot of work getting the big email providers to accept your email and if someone has ever sent spam from your IP address, you are pretty much screwed.

I mean, Email is twofold. Like running the server and getting inbound email: just as easy as all the other services.
Outbound? That shit can be difficult, near impossible on residential. But as outbound mail is kinda “lost” anyway in a privacy sense, I would not feel too bad about using a relay.
