I was wondering if I could set up my old desktop to be used as a server for my house. The way I have it set up now is mainly just for Plex for my movies. But I would like to be able to use it as a data server for files. My main goal is to use it so I can transfer/access files between my other desktop and laptops. It currently is running windows 10 and has two 4TB drives, one is used for media and the other I would like to use for data. In a perfect world I would like to be able to use it as something I can access outside my network like if I was at someone else's house using their WiFi, but I would settle for it just working within my home network. One of my laptops is a macbook if that makes a difference for being able to transfer files. I'm not the best when it comes to doing this stuff and would rather not have to use a different OS or expensive program to make this work but an open to suggestions.
Thanks for your time and help!
