Can I turn my Android tv box into a NAS server?

I've got a MXQ Pro 4k TV Box and a 4TB hard drive that I rarely use and I was wondering if there was any software I can use to make it a server. The MXQ box has 1GB RAM, a 2.0GHz quadcore chip and ethernet, usb and hdmi ports. Do you think it would be easier for me to put linux on the box and run it from there? Also would there be a way for me to set up a segment of this drive as a time capsule? Thanks :D
