Could you explain the collaborative work you do with Google Office? Does it have to use office file formats? Is it required to be web-based and accessible via a browser?
Could something like Obsidian.md work (with some live sync related plugin), where you write in markdown for various note-taking and documentation formats? Obsidian is proprietary, and I haven’t used it myself, but I heard good things about it. It’s also possible to configure vim and emacs with plugins to provide the same functionality as Obsidian.
I personally want to learn LaTeX for my office needs, and I believe there’s ways to do live collaboration with various tools, but LaTeX is a rabbit hole and much more difficult to learn.
From what I read, NextCloud’s office suite is based on LibreOffice/Collabora Office, so @Juice@hexbear.net’s suggestion is probably your best solution if you can setup a server to share with your family and friends.
Is there an alternative to google office? Something that has email and storage space and shared spreadsheets and shared documents?
You’d have to stand up your own Instance, but nextcloud should have most of what you need

The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Plain Text
Collaborating with a small group of family and friends where we can use a shared spreadsheet to plan a camping trip for example
Could LibreOffice work? It seems it’s possible to share spreadsheets through the Calc application:

It seems to be compatible with other applications, such as mobile Collabora Office:
