You're asking about moving your files to another computer or external storage. Yes, it's possible. You can transfer documents, downloads, videos, music, and more from your current system to another machine or an external drive. This way, you can share the same amount of space across multiple devices. If you have a large hard drive and an SSD, combining them into one external drive can help free up space and expand storage capacity.

It might be possible with a Plex server. You'd require a separate computer connected via Ethernet.

Yes, you can assign the location of folders like Desktop or Documents to a server in Windows. You’ll need to use file sharing settings and possibly a network protocol to map those locations. It depends on your setup and permissions.

It's referred to as a NAS (network attached storage). You can also build your own with software like FreeNAS or Unraid—it’s more affordable. Place the drives in the NAS, and each computer can access files via a network share or map them as a drive letter, just like a standard hard drive.

I'm not used to servers either. He mentioned a NAS, and that could also be a solution.

It's not necessary to save files directly on that device. You can set your web browser to download items elsewhere, store music in different places, and place pictures anywhere. For certain folders, right-click and choose properties to find options like "Change location." In other cases, you might need to adjust settings via the Control Panel. A NAS functions similarly to a regular computer, offering network access to its storage. You can add remote storage and list it as an extra drive letter (such as XSmile, allowing you to arrange files as you prefer, for example, X:\Downloads, X:\Music, X:\My Documents.

I suggest using open-source options that are free to use.

Use a program that allows adding additional disks to a single partition
