i thankyou all for your replies....but please bare in mind that due to my illness i am home based, thus no job and not enought money. i did notice earlier that google is offering 1TG but i got no clue how to share the files and photos there....

many thanks.....& now sadly my OTG on my phone isnt working soi m left with no alternatives. almost 200 photos from my photo havent been synced, so if i don't act now, chances are they will be gone....my MI MAX " phone is 4GB ran + £" GB rom but has internal memory cam.....all the files wont transfer at once.....so i am taking 4 steps forward and 10 steps back wards.i thank you alll again.....

i mean , even if there was an app that would allow me to me ALL my phone internal storage files to the SD/TF card easily. right now it only allows 500 files and thats so so hard to keep up with the fact that, which files i have moved and which are pending.....thanks guys......i appreciate so much....

TLDR:
If you want to do this easily, then use an existing cloud provider or a home NAS/Cloud device 
If you want to do this for free, learn about the free opensource technology solutions
If you want free and easy - I can't help with that.

great guys..thank you so much...

i will try all the options and leave my feedback here. The reason i asked is i saw a video on youtupe which i cannot find anywhere and the chat made this (what i want to happen) happening in just 6 mins without any NAS or nothing to be honest....Not speanding a penny rather but i will trye all the options..thank youa all and be safe....Aly..

The cloud is just code for online storage.  Do you need online storage or you really mean you want to be able to access your 1Tb from outside your house?

...yes....PERFECT THOUGHT. THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.

You really need to know what you are doing sadly, if you want to self-host on-line storage.
You could do it with a Rasperry Pi running NextCloud, using your 1TB external HDD for storage.

If you want to store important data, you will need to thing about your backup strategy too.
