I have Windows 10 PC with Plex Media Server installed on a Synology DS920+ Network Attatched Storage device. I want to add media on a usb drive connected to the PC and shared onn the network to a PMS library but can’t figure out how to add it. The only option I see is to add folders on the NAS. I’ve tried several ways of entering the usb address without success.

Thank you,
David House

That needs to be clarified. Where is the Plex server actually installed?
If it’s on the NAS, it can’t be Windows. Because Synology uses Linux on their devices.

It’s installed on the NAS.

I’m not sure that you can mount SMB network shares on a Synology device. Because that’s what is likely required to achieve what you want.

In any case, you will have a better chance to get a definitive answer if you ask in the Synology section of this forum: https://forums.plex.tv/tags/c/plex-media-server/nas-devices/27/server-synology

Thanks so much for your quick response. I’ll try the synology section.
