You are asking something that has been answered many times over. It will take you time to do your research, but you should do your own research before asking a common question.

To access your 4 hard drives locally in your LAN network google "Mapping a network drive"

To access your hard drives away from home, google "Setting up a FTP Server"

You will not get an answer in a forum. You need to read several articles, and experience the joy and pain of debugging. When you have an issue, search the internet for the solution as best as you can. When you still can't find the answer, then you ask on the forum. That's how the internet works. You don't just get free answers to every single problem you have.
