That's true, I'm currently using them. But of course Google comes with their own set of privacy concerns as well.

That's true. I've been considering the idea of building my own personal replacement for several Google services - Keep, Drive, and Photos mainly. Haven't decided it's worth the effort yet.
I would love a self-hosted Google docs clone, that I can access from an Android App and the web. That would also replace Evernote.
I've been tempted to look into things like ownCloud (https://owncloud.org/features/), but I just haven't been excited by what I've seen so far. What I'm thinking of is more of a single user web app that I build myself so that a) it does exactly what I want and nothing more, b) I know exactly how it works and what it does with my data, and c) there are no other users to support.
