Set Up Plex With a Network Drive
You can connect your network drive to the router network. If your media files are stored
on the network drive, Plex can stream the media files from your network drive to your
devices.
To use a network drive, you must connect another USB storage device to the router so
that the router can save Plex metadata and configuration files to it. We recommend that
at least 5 GB of free disk space is available on your USB hard drive. This ensures good
video streaming quality.
To set up Plex Media Server with a network drive:
1. Connect your network drive to the router network.
2. Connect a USB storage device to a USB port on your router.
3.
If your USB storage device uses a power supply, connect it.
You must use the power supply when you connect the USB storage device to the
router.
