I'd go one step further and build your own private cloud for a bunch of stuff.
I did all this easily through a slick web interface for open source software
and linux that Synology has created.

A lot of this stuff includes apps for phone/tv/etc that you can download for
free in stores or even from their own site, and it can be available to
everyone in your household for some pretty decent savings - if it still works
in a year I'll have saved more than I spent on it ($290 + disks x4).

\- cloud files almost directly equivalent to Dropbox, I haven't solved sharing
files yet but I have versioning and undeleting for my work

\- note server like OneNote with a browser extension to save pages,
screenshots etc

\- music streaming ala Amazon Music et al

\- torrent downloading I guess is like seed boxes but never had one

\- video streaming server like Netflix

\- photo uploading like iCloud

\- email server, didn't actually install this one yet but everything else is
up and running

\- dns server with network-wide ad/malware/tracker blocking

That is exactly what something like Owncloud/Nextcloud (for which I made those
book/publication-related tools) enables you to do: create a 'private cloud'
(what a silly word it is, really... cloud). It does some of the things you
mention 'out of the box' (file storage, photo uploading) or after installing
some 'apps' (note server, music streaming, video streaming, email user agent
(not a mail server)). Since it runs on *nix you get the rest (mail server, dns
server) more or less 'for free', just configure it the way you want.
