Download functionality works on the phone app & on the windows application, but it is not an available option when accessing a Plex docker server via browser. Request: much like how a /tvshows and /movies need to be made for a container, also implement a /downloads repository so that downloads can be directly downloaded to the server. ---

What exactly are you trying to achieve with this? That sounds a lot like a file-sharing scheme… but I might miss some aspect of your use case. Edit: there’s already an existing suggestion discussing an option to allow friends to sync libraries or individual shows/movies from a server to theirs (e.g. to bypass bandwidth bottlenecks). > [@\[Feature Request\] Server to Server Sync](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-server-to-server-sync/136879): > > I did a search and so far haven’t seen this one. I have a friend who lives in Africa and she doesn’t have enough BW to stream from my server but her boy friend set up a Plex server on an old laptop and they can afford Plex Pass. Could we enable shared libraries to be synced from server to server? There would have to be some sort of sanity to the sync, maybe a throttle mechanic or/and a time period where it can go crazy and use all the BW and then throttle back down when people would be awake. … ---
