[TCMUG] Modern GIS data storage approaches?

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

I'm looking for suggestions for approaching GIS data storage that will work
for staff in various places.  Our (young) organization has been using
Dropbox to store and share GIS data and we use QGIS for most of our
desktop-based spatial analysis and map design.   As our data collection on
Dropbox grows, I am finding that our individual hard drives are filled up
and it is tedious to figure out which folders to sync and un-sync as we
open different map projects.

In the past, I've worked at a place that had a local network with 2TB of
data and when I worked remotely, I used a remote desktop connection to a
computer in the office when I wanted to work with the data there.  I'm
guessing a lot has changed since then.  I'm wondering what approach we
should be currently considering and hoping that we can stick with an Open
Source GIS approach.

Any suggestions?

Best,
Jennifer
