Need a recommendation for data storage.

My collection of 4tb USB drives is getting pretty big, and just managing the wall warts is a task in itself.

I think it's time for me to get either a NAS setup going on, or a fileserver of some kind for my home office. All the content licenses and now some exclusive content I'm producing is just taking up too much space for consumer USB drives.

Ideally I'd like to get some kind of a linux based file server set up that sits on the network and can be accessed via mapped drive letters, maybe something that can back itself up to some cloud service or whatever on an incremental basis.

I use both Windows and Mac at home around the house and for work and don't mind tinkering and building stuff, I'm not the best tech out there but I'm no stranger to screwdrivers and command lines and usually am successful with projects - eventually.

What do you guys recommend?
