Using Mac osx m4 mini - internal storage is full and my photos library is too big, is it better to use an external usb c, or nas drive?
i have two users accounts to do a apply this to or is there another solution. The requirements are
-redundancy through Time Machine backup.
-multiple user accounts library’s.
or is there another solution away from iPhoto ?
A Photos Library will have problems on a NAS network. See this:
Move your Photos library to save space on your Mac - Apple Support
Use a fast SSD and format it in APFS.
If you're using iCloud Photos, then it is especially simple, since you can just fill the library from there. You can see this:
Make a New System Library connected to iCloud - Apple Community

It's best to use an external drive that's connected directly to your Mac. It should be formatted either APFS for solid state drives or OS X Extended (journaled) for rotating disk drives. Any other format will compromise the library..
