Adding a storage drive and make it available in the network.

I'm planning to buy a 2TB storage and I would like to know if I can create this as a network drive so I can use it to save my work.
So how would I begin to do that?

What's your existing network setup?

Are you in a domain?
What kind of 2 TB? Is it a bare drive, external USB, NAS, or something else? Do you have an existing storage device or server?

is, all you have to do is to setup the same credentials you have on the computer on the  storage device and make sure they are part of the same "workgroup"

note that because it is external does not mean it is not prone to the same failures a drive in your system would.

Backups are the only way to avoid/mitigate data losses.
