There’s been another suggestion asking for an option to point Plex to a URL / link using so called STRM files (basically a text file containing said URL). You might want to comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes for the similar use case. > [@\[REQ\] ADD STRM Support](https://forums.plex.tv/t/req-add-strm-support/233521): > > Taken from: [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/317877/strm-support](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/317877/strm-support)@jinxy88 said: This is a huge huge request for plex developers, please add STRM support back into Plex. People with huge libraries using gdrive as a source would love this feature.
