Is there a way to have my Plex pull files from 2 different computers? I don’t have a single hard drive to handle all files, and I have a rather large music collection (my own) on a separate computer that I’d like to add to my overall Plex experience.

You can configure your Mac running the server to automatically mount the network share at login by accessing System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Your User -> Login Items and dragging the shared folder into the list.
