I have multiple Plex Media Server instances. One is at home which contains the bulk of my content. I have others outside of home because of ISP restrictions on "not running servers" on their network. I would love the ability to have Plex Media Server transfer a show or movie to another PMS insta…

You don’t have to wait for Plex to develop something, there are multiple tools available now that do this type of thing. Ref: https://www.resilio.com

+1 for this, and yes you can use a multitude of file syncing tool’s to achieve this, however it would be far simpler for Plex to manage the movement of files. I’d like to even see the ability to move to the cloud then pull it down to another server.

+1 , This is a feature I would love to see. I know there are lots of tools out there but it would be a nice tool to see on plex

+1. This is a very old request, but it would still be really appreciated. Just as Ophate, I have a main server (Windows) with all the movies and I copy subsets on my second servers (Synology and nVidia Shield TV)… Transfering/copying movies means sync also the metadata between servers…

Why has there been no response from the devs on why this is or isn’t going to be developed or why it is not something they want. There seems to be quite a lot of want/need for it.

+1 Moving and copying should be a basic feature.
