It would be really useful to have the facility in Plex to move media from one library to another. I spend most of the time accessing Plex remotely as I live in a different country to my setup, so I have to keep making notes on media movements for when I go home. - Not a life changer, but would definitely save a lot of time for Road Warriors like myself! ---

You need to set remote access to your OS. ---

Given we have access to delete media from within the UI/app now, why not add the ability to move a title from one library to another? I imagine though the complexity lies in the server having to take a file from one folder (library) & move it to another. Seems trivial to just copy it, verify it in the new folder (library) & then delete the old one once verified. On top of this though what would be great is the system’s ability to do this on its own (user configurable) wherein a movie was not categorized properly by the maintainer (us) & the metadata that’s returned from online DBs says it should be somewhere else. i.e. Liar Liar placed into Drama folder (library) DB says Comedy, move to proper folder per tagging. Just my 2¢ ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@\[Feature Request\] Moving media between libraries without losing metadata using UI](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-moving-media-between-libraries-without-losing-metadata-using-ui/587567): > > Yes, there is a [How To](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-plex-database-modification-moving-media-the-right-wrong-way/126701) and even a [Support Article](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201154537-move-media-content-to-a-new-location/) but both don’t always work (especially keeping edited metadata) - or require many manual steps. Judging from the years of support requests/questions about this topic, there’s enough interest to warrant a renewed look at this. Can’t this be added to the User Interface to make it easier? Pretty please? It will be nice to finally get a feature that makes it easier to manage libraries for a change! ---
