Hi All, I have a decent size library but recently lost 1 of my 3 hard drives. I need an easy way to find out which files were located on that particular drive. Y: in my case to be more specific. Can I find this in the Database file? I found sort by folder with the plex web app on the pc, but that…

You might want to take a look at WebTools-NG to extract that information from the database. [image] Cream-Corn: I found sort by folder with the plex web app on the pc, but that feature doesn’t seem to function correctly. How so?

There’s no actual „sort by folder“ option. Only an option to display a library by its folders. This will display the subfolders of your library folder(s) and let you drill into further subfolders (excluding the library folders).
