Is this about right as a summary?

So it seems like this is a really easy and free option  with Proton 
Mail's google docs equivalent which seems really easy to get started with.

A harder / hardest option is doing a self hosted Next Cloud or similar 
services.

Are there any middle options that are vaguely ethical that people would 
suggest? Like a hosted/managed Next Cloud as part of a package? Having 
hosted email lists would also be good.

Nice one
