I am looking to have something like a place to store a bunch of photos, videos, etc. I want it like a school would have it, anyone connected to the wifi or connected to it could access anything save, or delete. Im looking to have about 10-15TB storage to start off. I want to be able to have more. Any ideas or a video you could link me to (preferably from Linus or someone who knows what they are doing) that would be great!

Buy a NAS.

 

If you don't know how to set one up yourself, it's better that you buy one off the shelf and just connect it to your router.

This ^. I use a QNAP and find it very user-friendly, but if you're wanting to build one yourself FreeNAS or Unraid would be a good option depending on what your needs are.

What you are talking about is called a NAS (Network Attached Storage).

 

You can buy NAS units that you slot HDD into for storage.

 

If you want to build your own you can look up guides around the net:

 

 

If anyone has a better guide feel free to add it. Hope this helps a bit!
