Help: Plex server on pc and movies on nas?

[NinjaMunken]

I have a synology 214Play and it seems to be to week to stream some 1080 movies,
So im gonna take my old pc and make it to a plex server instead
Now on the nas i have a 2tb disc, i still wanna use the nas but i was wondering if there any way for the PC Plex Server to get hold of the content on the NAS server so i dont have to move everything or the HDD from NAS to PC?

I hope you guys understand what i mean

Shouldn’t your NAS be visible from your PC as a network drive ?? When setting up the Plex server just point your movies to the movie folder on the NAS.

Verbatim Powerbay NAS with Plex media server

If you have installed Plex Media Server on your Windows computer, you add shares on your NAS this way: Surf to the media on your NAS using the Windows file explorer: [image] click into the address bar of file explorer once and press CTRL+C to copy the so-called ‘UNC path’ into the Windows clipboard. Then switch into Plex Web and create a new library. On the ‘Add Folder…’ tab, click on ‘Browse for Media Folder’ in the resulting window, delete everything from the address bar (topmost) then…
