Is there something like Google Drive / Dropbox that allows you to use cloud storage with local encryption, that has nice OS integration on desktop and mobile?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I cut Google from most of my life years ago, and switched mail to MXRoute.com instead. I have nothing but great things to say about them. Grabbed a special offer back then, 10 years/XX GB for something like $99 total, including all the domains i can think off and all the users i want. Compared to what was available at the time it was super cheap, and it has had like 99% uptime since. Latest offering, free of charge,…
I didn't see their nextcloud offering on their site. I also had to dig around to see where they're based. According to: https://mxroute.com/policy/ > "MXroute LLC is a Limited Liability Corporation in the state of Texas. All services provided by MXroute may be used for lawful purposes only.

It's email. Any pretense of avoiding 5/9 eyes is already moot. Any conversation has at least 2 participants, and since 50+ percent of the world population runs on some kind of hosted email (Gmail/Outlook/Yahoo/whatever), anything you send has a high probability of passing through 5/9 eyes anyway. It doesn't make much of a difference if you look through the "from:" or "to:" headers.
The only way to be safe from 5 eyes is encrypting all the contents in your mailbox, either through GnuPG or using Protonmail/Tutanota.
