Hello guys, i know we can sync Plex with Cloud Storage like g.drive and etc… Im install Plex on my NAS Synology. From what i understood after read FAQ, Plex sync bidirectional with g.drive, so if im delete file from my NAS, it will deleted on g.drive too right? Possible to make Plex read/stream file directly from cloud storage without store the file on our NAS or using our own storage?

pCloud storage for my movies

It is possible to achieve but not recommended. Instead of trying to get such setup to work you might wanna take a look at Plex Cloud. It is currently in Beta but in future you will be able to run PMS from Cloud.

I dont know how good Plex Cloud, its unlimited or what? Until today not received any invitation from Plex yet. I have google drive unlimited storage, so if it can use with Plex without using NAS storage it was good.

Unlimited what? Only limitation is your cloud provider. Plex Cloud is in beta at this time. You can opt in and if you are lucky you shall be selected. There was a new wave of invitation recently.

Are they inviting non-Plex Pass users to the beta?

That I don’t know. I assume not but to be honest I never pay attention if someone has PlexPass or not.

You provide storage (as Dropbox, OneDriver or GoogleDrive). Plex will not limit anything, as long as you have space in Cloud.

I know Plex will not limit anything, but its still store the data on my NAS too.

Oh my days. With Plex Cloud you don’t need a single piece of hardware at home. Nothing will be stored anywhere except in “the cloud”. Having local server with remote data is bad solution and it’s generally not recommended.

So if i use Google Drive, not using my own space too?
