I used to have Plex as a Plex Media Server, but have since made a new server and use that as my Plex Server. I still have all my Plex Media on my nas though. In a folder it has Plex permissions set. Do I still need any Plex permissions if I only store the Plex media there and don’t use it as a folder? ---

If you are not running Plex Media Server on the Synology NAS, you do not need to give the user Plex (DSM6) or PlexMediaServer (DSM7) any file permissions. To completely remove Plex Media Server from a Synology NAS, see [FAQ 9: Uninstalling PMS - Completely start over](https://forums.plex.tv/t/synology-faq-questions-answers-and-a-few-how-tos/490215/15). The username you are using for SMB/NFS mounts on your other system will need at least read only access to your media files. ---
