It's A Digital Disease!

I've got a large and growing digital footprint of photos, videos and various other precious data. It's a bit all over the place between outboard hard drives, previous retired computers. Roll into that iCloud and Dropbox and it's a bit of a mess to say the least.

I'm looking for a good solution to do two things 1) get everything together especially the photos into one place; 2) once that's done, having a manageable backup solution. I'm considering a pair of 20TB wd usb enclosures so one could be stored off site and swapped monthly. I think the full size of everything is about 10TB so this would give me some growth room. The whole system is mac based. I'd appreciate advice on how to go forward.
