Organized is key.

Get a dedicated computer to act as a Server. You as the admin. Pc or Mac the software is cheap and so damn easy theses days.
Then set you up again as a user with a different user name.
Then move files to a large drive or drives. Run one of those programs that looks for duplicate files. But be very careful, two files may have the same name & file size so look at them to verify they are duplicates. Delete duplicates.
Organize files. Document files should be by year, subfolders by groups. That way in 2015, you can delete the 2005 files. Picture files can be be things like Family, cool space pics, big boobs, cartoons.
Then create a VPN. Again software is cheap & easy. This allows any machine on your network from any location to access the server and other drives.
Backup the server & other drives as often as you feel comfortable. Best, make 2 backups. One on-site for easy retrieval, the other in a secure location such as a safety deposit box.
People like Carbonite say it's free or cheap, but when you have TBs of files, it's damn expensive. Others here may have suggestions on offsite backups.
