If you are interested in the photo storage then start..... With the storage.

So pick up a nas or something similar, pay a bit more for the super intuitive fancy gui product and the start from there.

Learn what is nas and how to connect to a pc Thne learn how to do the same with your smartphone Then learn a bit about networking Then... Continuous for the hardest itch and try to Scratch it

And if you need support, come back here, check videos and web pages or even chatgpt, for the basic stuff is quite acceptable
