A single hard drive with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity will work. Moving up in sophistication, NAS solutions can provide additional ports, enabling you to connect additional external hard drives to scale your business's overall Wi-Fi storage capacity.

A WiFi drive is technically a NAS (Network Accessible Storage). It just depends on how sophisticated you want to get.

If your data is not too sensitive, you could even just use something like Dropbox on all the Macs or Windows systems that need to share that data.

If the data is going to be attached to a Mac, you can use System Preferences -> iCloud -> Back-to-My-Mac to have remote Mac mount and access that data over a secure connection. Remote can be a foot away, as long as it is happening over a network.

There are also system such as 'Synology' or 'Transporter' which allow remote access.

I want a 1-2T hard drive that can be accessed from 150 miles apart. We use dropbox within the office and offsite but it is pretty full and won't handle my additional information without paying for additional space. I just want a hard drive that 2 computers far apart can use.

If the hard drive can live with one of the computers, then any external disk on that compuer, and System Preferences -> iCloud -> Back-to-My-Mac would be a good easy choice.

It is easy to test, as you do not even need to buy the disk just yet to prove you can access another Mac via Back-to-My-Mac.

If both Macs are laptops, and attaching an external disk is going to be a problem, then start looking at a WiFi/NAS device.
