Sync to cloud only a specific Library or Directory

Searched, but didn’t find anything in forums. Also, looked pretty thoroughly in apps.

Is there such a thing as a Watch Folders, where Plex **only ** does a cloud sync with a DIR I specify, or a Library I specify? I have some good storage space on Google Drive, but don’t want to sync my entire library, only files in a certain DIR, or files in a specific Library.

Does Plex cloud sync automatically sync my entire libraries?
That would be way too much GBs
It seems like if there were a setting to do this it would be in > Library > Advanced Settings > [sync this lib to cloud]

You can sync just about anything because Cloud Sync is the same as syncing to a mobile device. Select what you want, click Sync, and then the Cloud account as the destination :slight_smile:

Thanks. I got it. You have to turn on sync first. I did turn it on but then panicked because I thought it was going to try and sync about 258 GB of files. Sweet. Easy to do.

Any idea why the synced files are ending up on Google Drive with crazy file names?

Those goofy names are the obfuscation to protect your stuff. Also, when you open Plex web and point at your cloud server, the names will be correct again :slight_smile:

There’s this really crazy thing I found called a Manual :smiley:

you mean www.plex.tv/support ? Yeah, strange thing… pops up outta nowhere! :smiley:

Yea. There’s a drop down menu under my account icon, an option for “help” Who would have thought. Pretty simple

Thanks for your help
