I already have amazon drive and want to know what I need to outsource my plex server from my basement into the cloud. do I really need plex pass for that? and how fast are the amazon cpus? can they handle multiple 1080p transcodes at once? thanks for helping me out. ---

Plex Cloud is dead. You need to look for other options. Plex is really meant for running a media server/storage on your own hardware. ---

I wouldn’t call Plex Cloud dead though it’s certainly dead in regard to using ACD. There’s still a beta in progress for other cloud storage providers. ---
