The question is “free” for what? If you’re looking for a demo instance, there’s plenty around. If you’re looking for an instance for your personal needs, you may be well served by an established tech cooperative (see libreho.st, chatons.org or tildeverse.org for such). These usually operate on a donation (free-price) basis, so depending on your $$$$ you may or may not donate money. If you’re looking to host an entire collective, that’s gonna cost you some $$$$
I have an agroecological library, several documents, few images to store and synchronize, less than 4gb, but I can’t pay now, although I consider it necessary.
I have one email address with them I use all the time (for commercial stuff), it’s very reliable. You also get a Nextcloud account with 4GB storage.
I also use Zaclys. 1GB Nextcloud for free, 5€ (a year) for 5GB + plus an email account or 10€ for 10GB and email. Even though I self host now I still use it for my main email.
Also unlimited pictures upload!
Well 4GB isn’t so little, but i’m guessing there’s a few tilde servers where you could get a user account with that kind of storage based on donation. If you don’t have the money now, you’ll pay when you can :)
So with your personal space you get a shell account (SSH), plus usually some web/gemini space (that’s a huge benefit so you can share your posts/research) and an email account.

Point of correction: disroot free version gives you 2GB storage for nextcloud
Mine clearly shows 4, but maybe thats because it’s an old account?
I use Disroot, 'tis great :)
I’d probably go look a Syncthing… Probably the easiest solution for what you’ve described
