I have PMS running at one location, I’d like to sync specific shows or movies to another location for local/offline viewing. Basically just like sync, but to a local store.

For example, I have my parents using plex on a roku3. I can’t do local sync to the roku3, and there is a lot to love about it as a plex client. I don’t want to convert them to something that can do sync because frankly, I don’t think any of those options are simple enough.

alternatively, the ability to have a ‘cloud sync’ storage provider that is something I host locally. Simple enough to ‘cloud sync’ the shows they watch to their destination.

either way, I want to get the content to their location so they have non-buffering delivery and off-line access, while not having to manage a separate plex installation which I’m doing now.

Not a duplicate (I think), but really ties in with this request, too: [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/61278/feature-request-separate-computer-for-transcoding-vs-streaming](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/61278/feature-request-separate-computer-for-transcoding-vs-streaming)

I’m thinking adding a cloudsync option as a generic ftp, webdav, etc, would do it.

> I did a search and so far haven’t seen this one. I have a friend who lives in Africa and she doesn’t have enough BW to stream from my server but her boy friend set up a Plex server on an old laptop and they can afford Plex Pass. Could we enable shared libraries to be synced from server to server? There would have to be some sort of sanity to the sync, maybe a throttle mechanic or/and a time period where it can go crazy and use all the BW and then throttle back down when people would be awake. …
