Seeking user-friendly tools for online discussion and collaboration

Please help me find the right discussion / communication / file storage solution(s) for a group of relative strangers to collaborate on a community project. I'm part of a localised giving circle (in Australia) and we have recently recruited a lot of new committee members. In previous years, most committee members knew each other and so we mainly used email and Dropbox to communicate and share files - and of course we all met frequently. However, email in particular was a horrendously bad idea and we have all ended up with packed inboxes of looong email conversations which are unsearchable and unwieldy.

Now we have a new committee, I would like to find a solution or combination of solutions which lets us use a single email address to email everyone on the list (this is the most important thing). Like a listserv (ah the good old days) but easy to set up without technical expertise. And preferably free or very low cost; as we don't take an admin fee from donations, we pay for any extras ourselves.

Bonus points if someone knows of the perfect system (or combination of systems) which will also provide file storage, maybe a joint calendar or task list, and is accessible to people without a long learning curve. I've looked briefly at Freedcamp, Slack and similar things, but they all seem to rely on people going TO a site to engage in discussion and they're probably more complicated than we need.
