Nextcloud - If you're decent with computers and have a computer at home that can run 24/7. Could be an old laptop, even. There're are other self-hosting alternatives as well.
Proton Drive - If you don't mind spending a little for privacy. There are other privacy centric storage options, also.
A USB flash drive if it's just for documents and you don't mind walking around with one.
OnlyOffice is a decent alternative as well, as someone else has mentioned. But I'm not sure how privacy focused they are (idk off the top of my head, at least)
You can also pay for nextcloud hosting if you cant have a server 24/7.
The biggest problem I had with documents is incompatibility with microsoft shit that everyone use, but if google docs works for OP then nextcloud could be the best cloud based storage and office suite.
Onlyoffice is amazing, its super compatible with microsoft, but not sure can that work in a cloud or its just an app that can run on client devices
