One alternative to OneDrive is a local server or just having bigger long term drives on your system.
Also what you can do is encrypt files with gpg for example and upload them to any free cloud service, like for example Google drive.
Like i said I’m not very tech savvy so a local server is something I’d like to try to avoid maybe unless it can run out of the box.
As for encryption wdym by gpg im assuming that’s an encryption service
It's not black or white, so don't worry about trying to do everything on your own at once. Just taking steps to enhancing your privacy like you're doing now asking questions is already a step in the right direction. If you're not confident in hosting locally for now, you can try one of the providers NextCloud recommends. Sure it's not as good as hosting your own, but it's a big step away from using OneDrive or Google Drive.
Someone recommended the proton.me family so I think I’m going to start there and get settled there
I might pay for it if I get used to it and settled in compared to OneDrive and all that stuff
