Being really careful with the piñata hanging from the roof.

I'll ponder that option.

So, I have 4 computers in one room and I want persons in each computer
to save files into a single place, which everybody can access to modify or
copy, etc.
So, is it possible to get a big 1 terabyte USB, connect it to a USB router, and
from there connect each computer?
Thanks,

Our IT guys are in London. We're such a small office and so far away that it just
doesn't pay incur in the bureaucracy and to bear the expense. So I have to kind of
scratch it with my own nails an keep the budget screeching from the ends.
what if someone breaks in and steals your NAS drive? or it crashes and takes all your files with it?

In all seriousness, I would recommend using TrueCrypt on an external/portable drive, back up to it periodically, and then store in an off site secure location. Under your bed will do.

What Russ is suggesting is in addition to the NAS device, not instead of. The question of offsite back-up is certainly valid and it comes down to the issues of confidentiality of the files stored and how much redundancy and restore points can you afford and what the cost of replacement is and/or the burden of breach policy in case of theft.
If your company already has retention and/or a breach policy defined, you can use that to drive your purchases, ie page 14, paragraph 2 says that all data must be...and then build your shopping list to meet those requirements.
Hey this is fun! 😉

only one host on a USB network. not four.

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a specification[1] to establish communication between devices and a host controller (usually personal computers).
....
A USB system has an asymmetric design, consisting of a host, a multitude of downstream USB ports, and multiple peripher ...[text shortened]... rts. Up to 127 devices, including the hub devices, may be connected to a single host controller.
