Office network setup help

I am a small contractor and hiring an admin assitant in a month.
Whats the best way (inexpensive and efficent) for us to have access to work files.
Example - Have a main computer where i share my project folders with her? have a server that both of us connect to to work on files?
I use quickbooks, estimating software, Office software, and internet email (google platform)

Also, currently I back up my work/accounting files to a external hard drive.
I know this is not safe, so while im making this change to work with more than one computer, I'd like to start online backup.
Any suggestions there?

You can share files OTA with windows as long as it's enabled. Might be the easiest and cost effective solution.
Or you can possibly plug that external drive into your router and make it a NAS storage for both of you to access

If you have internet connectivity why not just use online services like Google or office 365 and get drive space, sharing capability, back ups and office productivity apps? Why worry with maintaining a network and attached storage. Ficus on your business and let others worry about that.
