Server Version#: 1.19.4.2902
Player Version#: N/A
Simply moving Plex to different system. I’ve never had an issue before and this is my 7th or 8th Plex Setup. I’ve been using Plex for 3.5 years without an issue I couldn’t figure out. Appdata location was able to be easily moved under Settings but it is no longer there and I can’t find a recent post about the issue. Where is this option now?
General Settings with Advanced options expanded no longer displays a location.
Disk Layout. P:\plex\_application is where Plex is installed but still auto-saves metadata in
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server. 20 GB worth of Metadata is already in the P:\plex\_application\AppData Directory.
Thank you for any assistance!

This was removed with a recent PMS release due to security concerns.

You can still assign a different folder using Windows Registry Editor

> By default, Plex server stores all its own data on the system drive, in the AppData path of the Windows user. You might want to change that location, if your system drive is a small SSD or you are simply having capacity issues. Moving Plex data to a dedicated drive also makes it easier to retain your Plex server data when changing machines or re-installing Windows from scratch. For larger servers/collections, I recommend a dedicated, internal SSD drive. Exit/End/Quit/Close plex, using the t…

Thank you very much! No issues on disk size. Plex is on a 50 GB partition of a 1.6TB PCI SSD. I looked at registry editor before but since I hadn’t created any new libraries, the path didn’t exist. I just added the string, path and opened Plex and I am good to go. Thanks.

> Hello, We have recently been made aware of a security vulnerability related to Plex Media Server. This issue allowed an attacker with access to the server administrator’s Plex account to upload a malicious file via the Camera Upload feature and have the media server execute it. This could be done by setting the server data directory to overlap with the content location for a library on which Camera Upload was enabled. This issue could not be exploited without first gaining access to the server’…
