Many users get confused that streaming also downloads the file.
Some users would prefer to stream only and not download.

We need to both make this clearer and add options to allow people to automatically delete content after streaming.

we could create a separate cache folder that gets enabled when the option is selected and runs a garbage collection on that cache folder

@liamcardenas after talking to Grin about this, think it will most likely be just app side changes. The daemon API should provide everything we need to clear out files based on the logic we decide.

We now have the streaming vs downloading (and hosting) options. We should continue to look to improve the UX for a first time user. My suggestion was that we pop up something the first time it downloads so that the user is aware + lead them to settings if they want to change it. Sooner the better, but maybe a good time to do so would be once we have storage options.
