I have close to 30 TB of media, 3d files, workshop plans etc. that I'd like to be able to see in a website like format. Obviously using  a web hosting provider would be cost prohibitive. Any suggestions on how to set something up where ideally everything is categorized, viewable with an icon or image and downloadable? My first thought was maybe a wordpress install on the server, but not sure if that is ideal.

I'd suggest nextcloud. Allows for categorization via folder structure and tagging, supports downloads, even file sharing and access control via a link or a multi-account setup if you need it.

Thanks for the reply...researching now!

I am not sure if nextcloud isnt too big for me. But it looks interesting and I used Synology Drive (as Web App and Sync) for drag and drop file sharing and saving. Is it possible to give each Nextcloud User a different unraid share? I have a share for every family member in the house.

All data saved in Nextcloud by default gets saved in its own data folder.

Every user get an folder in there and thats where all their specific data will be stored.
There is a way around this, but it does involve basically making path/volume binds by adjusting the container after user creation which you want to refer on the container side to the specific user folders it creates and then bind that to specific locations/shares on Unraid.
It is certainly more annoying than having all users in 1 data folder but if its really needed.. it can be done.

Been using Nextcloud for the past 3 years for sharing files, backupping my phone (photos and videos) and using Nextcloud Sync to have an duplicate of one of my desktop disks available on there.
Also having my opnsense and home assistant making backups to it. Its quite a nice program, never really had issues with it.
