Abstract
Systems and methods are described for selecting storage location for a media asset. A determination is made as to whether a user device is accessing the media asset over a wireless connection (e.g., outside of the user's home location) or over a wired connection (e.g., at the user home location). When the user device is accessing the media asset over the wired connection, the following steps are performed (e.g., at the user home location). A determination is made of a likelihood of the media asset being accessed on a second user device through the wireless connection (e.g. outside of the user's house), based on a user's access tendencies. If the likelihood is greater than a threshold, the media asset is stored in a network storage. If the likelihood is not greater than a threshold, the media asset is stored in a local storage of the user device.
