This sounds complicated. If you're looking for home cloud sharing how about Tonido? I went with the pro so I can mount it as a drive on all my computers. They also have phone apps that work like dropbox. I have two external 1T drives connected, one for use and the other just backs it up nightly. I also use the computer all the time but am considering getting the tonido plug so I can save electricity. It also works on the Mac.
