Please Plex. Give us an official statement. I’m not gonna pay 70 euro for ACD if I’m not going to be able to use it with Plex in the near future. Please, anyone who reads this, second my opinion!!!

For the current beta phase ACD is not available, you will have to use Google Drive, Drop box or One Drive.

ACD is on the back burner (still being worked on, no ETA) until Amazon can fix there stuff with API rates

There have been several statement made by Plex regarding the issues with ACD

I setup Plex Cloud connected to my Dropbox account. I loaded a movie trailer just to test it out and it was constantly buffering. What are the server specs for the cloud servers? Are they too weak to stream a 1080p video?

I do not have specs for the servers used, but I’ve had no problems, using either ACD or Google Drive, streaming high bitrate content with Plex Cloud.

Additionally, in the Plex Cloud Beta forum there is a thread that has links to test your download speed from the Plex servers. Have you tried those to determine if your path to the servers is the issue? Look for the Issue Reporting 101 [v3] thread.

Thank you hthighway! I’m going to connect to my Google Drive account and see how that works out.
I really hope they work out the issues with ACD. I have unlimited storage there…would cost me a small fortune to store all my media on one of the other providers.

More than 2 months uploading to Amazon, for nothing! I’ve canceled the automatic renewal with Amazon… it’s a really shame!

To be fair we do not know yet if it is for nothing, so I will keep uploading, having faith that these issues will be resolved by Amazon and Plex on go-live day…

I want to use one of those cloud services but some of my content has been obtained by “nefarious means”.

I won’t use a service until it has encryption. Regardless of where the media came from.

So I’m assuming that none of the cloud services has encryption?

welp I’ll continue to use my own storage and invest in a NAS at some point. What is a good NAS to get?

Only way right now is encrypt it your self and manage your own vps that costs money
