If linux can see the drive, Plex should be able to see it. Beyond that, you may need to check the permissions on the files. > **[Mounting NTFS Drives on Linux | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200288606-mounting-ntfs-drives-on-linux/)** > > Mounting NTFS on Linux Mounting NTFS drives on Linux and why the hell its so hard for Plex to read... > **[Linux Permissions Guide | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200288596-linux-permissions-guide/)** > > Permissions on Plex Media Server This is a write up of how permissions on Linux systems affect Plex Media Server... ---
