I'm looking for a way to sync a folder on my shield TV with a USB drive attached to my WiFi router and shared via samba (smb).
Right now I'm using ES file explorer to manually copy files, but it would be awesome to automate it. Any ideas?

I download apk files to my Synology NAS then connect over FTP with ES File Explorer. There's probably a better way to do it, but I don't sideload very often.
FolderSync seems to be popular, though I never tried it myself (I also use ES File Explorer if I actually need to move files around).
I use a third party appstore and a mouse to download and then install apps. The mouse is because most apps don't support the controller.
This works pretty well if you don't want to mess with command line with ADB.
Use es file explorer and send. Make sure you have es open on the nexus player and it shows up.
I started using Air-Share & Air-Launch , instead of just copying the APK on an external h/d and installing using ES File Explorer File Manager.
Enable developer options, turn on debugging. Then:
adb connect XXX.XXX.XXX.xxx
Replace Xs with your IP
Then: adb push \path to file\file.xxx /sdcard/
Or you can send them directly from your Android phone with ES File Explorer on both devices.
