The problem I've run into is versioning, determining which collection is most "ahead". We've had a large drive which was once used collectively by my family, but with everyone moving around it's been demoted to a more downstream status.
Would the collection just keep growing or would you delete content? Maybe periodically so if you haven't watched the new Bettlejuice movie within a couple weeks it would get deleted? Maybe they wouls hold onto stuff until you've got it and watched it?
The idea of versioning it with your family stash is neat
It can and does continue to grow. We do not delete content. There is a trove of old (not recently acquired) files on these drives that several members have not gotten around to yet.
I am currently trying to devise a system wherein these different drives can be synced across geographically distant locations. Like a bi-directional rsync system which doesn't remove extraneous files from the destination.
