I am copying my files (movies, music, pictures, etc.) from a local server to a new NAS (UGreen DSP4800 Pro). Is there a way to keep my Plex metadata associated with the files? In the past I have transferred items and had to unmatch and fix many many movies… Is there a way to not have to manually do this. Please keep it simple and I am not a power user. THANKS
