Updated Plex Version and I think I lost "Plex" Share?

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

Synology DS918+
Server Version#: DSM v6.2.2-24922 Update 3
Player Version#: 1.16.5.1552

Hey all, maybe a very newb question but I think I lost the “Plex” root Folder.

If I go into Control Panel>Shared Folder I can see “Plex”. (Not to be confused with my “Media” share where all the actual media is located).

But when I go to File Station, under the root, the Plex folder is gone. My media folder is still there but not the Plex system folder.

I just updated the Plex version to 1.16.5.1552 (auto update, not manual install). and noticed it. Am I missing something? Plex still works just fine. Is it somehow a hidden folder now? Where’d it go?

Thanks,

A few things you likely noticed:

  1. By default, your username doesn’t see the Plex share. It’s there for debugging only.

  2. By default, placing media in the Plex share is both ill-advised (I have 6 warnings there each in a different language) and it drives PMS itself crazy (recursive scanning). Your performance will suffer terribly. If you have media in the Plex share, PLEASE REMOVE IT

  3. As of PMS 1.15.4.994, I removed user Plex from the adminstrators group. You must now manually (Control Panel - Shared Folders - Permissions tab for each of your media shares) give user Plex permission to read or read/write as you deem appropriate.

Thanks for the reply, Plex Media is NOT, I repeat, NOT in the Plex share. lol.

It was a permission issue. Resolved. Thanks for the help.
