I use my NAS very differently compared to most I suspect. I use it for two things only.
My Dropbox of family vids / photos is synced from it which is about 30GB so I have a local copy on the nas.
I use it to download movies and to stream them to my TV via DLNA. When I watch a movie I delete it after I watch it (except 4 or 5 faves). Never really watch movies twice so don't keep them. I probably have a 100GB of movies/series but as I say this is transient so never goes too much above or below this.
Therefore if the Shield had a Dropbox app it would work for use case 1. The torrent downloader is then what I was saying would be cool although the Synology ds download phone app is class.
As you say though the 500GB is a rumour and apparently for developers so maybe a mute point but I can dream and as you can see 500GB would be more than enough for me.
