What do you do for email? Photo storage?
Those are the two biggest reasons for me to stay with Google but I'd like to start clawing my data back.
Runbox and Proton for email, Nextcloud and Immich for photos.
Regarding photo storage, Immich is pretty close to a perfect clone/replacement for Google Fotos in my opinion.
Skiff (https://skiff.com/) with custom domain for e-mail. Alternatives: Tutanota (https://tutanota.com/) or Proton Mail (https://proton.me/)
Ente Photos (https://ente.io/) for photo storage. Alternatives: Stingle Photos (https://stingle.org/) or Cryptee (https://crypt.ee/)
It looks like ente.io for photo management will probably be listed on the privacy guides website soon: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/ente-photo-management/11763
For email/calendar/drive Proton is the easy choice. I know photo upload is on their radar too but like everything with proton it will probably be a while before that's ready to roll out.
if photo syncing to desktop is an option, try syncthing. I've got it set up to work only on my LAN, so when I get home it gets synced automagically. also nextcloud.
Luckycloud is working on integrating FolderSync into their mobile app so you'll be able to do two-way photo and file sync (ie. Delete from your computer deletes it on the phone if you want.)
