Hello,

I am currently using MyPassport Wireless and I’m attempting to move files from my desktop to the library I have on Plex that is connected to MyPassport. I’m having a hard time find the steps to get them onto that specific library. Any help would be appreciated.

Usually you’re linking a specific folder to your library, e.g. „Movies“ folder linked to your movies library.

If you follow the naming schema for those files, Plex will pick up files added to a folder linked to its libraries when that library is scanned the next time.
