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.
Disroot!
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, 5โฌ (a year) for 5GB + plus an email account or 10โฌ for 10GB and email. Even though I self host now I still use it for my main email. Also unlimited pictures upload!
