I have been running a hosted instance (digital ocean) with Nextcloud for years and it
works perfectly for this almost exact scenario.
It has problems with some hidden files such as .htaccess at times, but otherwise works
fantastic. I have abandoned all other cloud platforms for it. Email, Calendar, files, and
password management, and I have access everywhere, including my phone and tablet.
There are free services out there that provide limited storage to a Nextcloud storage.
