More and more, I think the best replacement for a cloud drive is just Syncthing.

I went through the list and wrote what I use to replace it.

  • Microsoft Office 365
    -- Mail -> Tuta
    -- Calendar -> I don't use a calendar, but Tuta would be my option
    -- OneDrive -> I still use OneDrive, but I'm also using Filen.io and Syncthing
    -- Documents* -> ONLYOFFICE (Documents)
  • Bitwarden -> KeePassXC and Keepass2Android
  • GitHub -> I still use GitHub...
  • Google search -> SearXNG with several search engines

*Documents weren't listed or mentioned since they're not cloud services, but I think it's worth talking about. I'm just using ONLYOFFICE and syncing everything with Filen.io and Syncthing.

Syncthing is so good, I don't know why anyone would pay for cloud storage.

Convenience, I suppose. It's not like Syncthing is hard to setup, but it is harder than the centralized stuff, namely because there's talk of relay and discovery servers... That doesn't really "matter" for a regular user, but normies see funny words and give up.
