I am convinced plex doesn't like me, on my local host it acts like it's not a media server and says "Get Plex Media Server" no matter what I do 💀wont even let me set it up

So huge question here does this work with Google drive or p cloud or mega or Dropbox any sort of affordable cloud service. I'm always on the road and would like to make a cloud server from my cellphone

so I have plex for my mac, for some reason I dont have the option to share from my media folder . I really need help, I cant share my media and I have the plex pass too .

QUESTION: how do I restrict other people accounts in my home from watching certain videos? Do I create different libraries or collections. If I have to create different libraries then how do I do move my mp4 files or point to them. When I created different accounts I only see my entire Plex library of all of my videos.

So Plex is not like a server where I can upload movies??
I should have them forever in a folder so that they are not deleted from the PC??

Hi, I have a lot of movies on my hdd, well organised and stuff, my question is can I add that folder to plex when setting it up, let it upload all the titles, and then can i remove and plug in the hdd onlywhen i want to watch something on my tv?

I an Kodi setup expert, but when it comes to Plex and Jellyfin I am completely clueless and never understood the need for it.
