One feature I would LOVE to see is the ability to move media to another library. As long as it’s between libraries I own, I should be able to go into the menu and say ‘Copy to LIbrary’ then pick say, my Plex Cloud Server. I’ve been travelling and it would have been awesome to be able to select a TV series and say ‘Copy to Plex Cloud’ for faster streaming while I’m traveling since my house has limited outgoing bandwidth. Another option would be to treat other libraries like sync locations, although that seems like more of a temporary option. But I would be ok with my Plex Cloud library being a sync location. ---

A request for the same feature exists, and it has now gathered more votes. > [@\[Feature Request\] Moving media between libraries without losing metadata using UI](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-moving-media-between-libraries-without-losing-metadata-using-ui/587567/1): > > Yes, there is a [How To](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-plex-database-modification-moving-media-the-right-wrong-way/126701) and even a [Support Article](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201154537-move-media-content-to-a-new-location/) but both don’t always work (especially keeping edited metadata) - or require many manual steps. Judging from the years of support requests/questions about this topic, there’s enough interest to warrant a renewed look at this. Can’t this be added to the User Interface to make it easier? Pretty please? It will be nice to finally get a feature that makes it easier to manage libraries for a change! Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing). Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it. * * * Rules for the Feature Suggestions forum section: - Please **search** before creating a new suggestion thread. - Only one feature per thread.
