Also like to have those documents available when we travel. we do not stream movies from it. But he does occasionally look at videos he has taken on it.
Budget is certainly in the picture.
My suggestion would probably be to move up to a NAS (Synology for example). The front layout might be a higher, but you get the flexibility to grow your storage (they have something called SHR/Synology Hybrid RAID), add redundancy and you can enhance the NAS with plugins. It might take a bit of work to learn how to deal with remote access, but it's worth it.
Alternatively, if you have a subscription to Office365, One Drive comes with a large amount of storage you could use, although I think the limit is 1Tb per user (depending on your subscription). There are other ways to do what you want, but they require quite a bit more time and effort.
