Allow direct uploads of our own media via Dropbox and other cloud services

Honestly, the idea of setting up my own server to upload my personal videos to my Plex account, seems too intimidating, difficult and complicated.

I suggest the following feature:

  • Allow users to upload their own personal media from their Dropbox account and other cloud services.

Instead of of having to set up a Plex media server, I honestly don’t see why we can’t just upload our own media directly from our cloud accounts such as Dropbox, etc.

In my mind, I should simply be able to open the Plex app on my iPad, click on something that says ‘Upload your personal media’ and then I have the option to select where I am uploading media from (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive, iOS File Folder, etc. And then presto, it’s as easy as that.

We tried that. It does not work in reality for various reasons, and we discontinued that years so. You can Google “Plex Cloud” if you are interested in the details.

I am closing this.
