which I have plugged a USB drive that drive becomes a network drive that
can be seen and used by any computer on the network.
So I could use the USB drive attached to Touch for storing Text Docs,
Pictures, Videos, whatever I
So I could use the USB drive attached to Touch for storing Text Docs,

since the Touch has a version of SBS on it already, would it be possible

From the responses and other threads in this forum I understand that
the Touch can act as a server for the Duet.
