Is 32gb enough for you guys?

I don't see myself realistically keeping a phone more than 2 years (as a general rule it's been 1, but I might just keep the N6 a 2nd), so only want to make sure I'm getting sufficient storage to keep me happy for that amount of time. I've been fine with the 32GB N6, and only had one time I actually found myself with a memory shortage - and that was on a vacation where I'd preloaded 3 HD movies and was shooting a lot of pics and vids, but simple to resolve as I just deleted the movie I'd watched on my flight out.
For anyone who's debating between 32gb/64gb/etc, value is obviously a factor or they'd just go with the largest. That said, get the size that would easily handle your current usage plus a reasonable expected increase over the term you expect to keep the phone. Your storage needs won't change much unless you're going to be changing the way you use the phone dramatically (note if you plan on doing a lot of 4k video.... get a bigger size. Though I still mock a friend of mine who did that, shoots all his video in 4k, but doesn't have any display devices capable of handling it.
If I move to the N6p, I'd probably go with the 64gb just to have a little extra legroom, but would save the additional $50 vs the 128GB as I'd never likely miss it in the next 1-2 years, and that $50 could be better spent towards accessories (I'm lookin' at you, USB-C!) or saved as an advance '$50 discount' on upgrading next year.

I've had the 32GB version for the last 4-5 months, and I haven't even come close to running out of space. But I don't store movies or music on my phone, so that helps a lot. All my photos get uploaded to my Google Photos app. I currently have 19 GB available.

Yes I place all my vids and movies in a folder on my server(Or any pc you can leave running) I have it on a 6GB external drive. The Plex server software for the computer is free. The apps for ios and android are like $4.99 each. If you watch on a laptop its free. Can be watched anywhere you have a data connection. Personally, I use MKV to rip all my BR and DVD's...I'm in Hotel's a few nights w a week, so it's perfect for that.
I do have plex installed on all my devices I have tons of videos in it stored on my PC. But the second I turn off wifi on one of my devices switching to 4G plex no longer works

Have the 64GB N6 here with 44GB open. Ordered the 32GB 6p, more than enough for me apparently.
