Plex and G-Drive

Posted July 7th, 2020    784   0   plex gdrive G-Drive

Very new to using a seedbox after hearing a lot about them and doing some research. I have followed the guides and got plex running. it didnt see my storage correctly so i deauthorised the server and then deleted it from plex and have run through the set up again.

my G-Drive setup is unencrypted drive with an encrypted folder called Secure

Install 1, went through the set up and selected Secure as a mount point underneath that folder is a folder called Multimedia .

when plex installs, it creates a folder called plex and creates the default libraries under under that. not so much of a problem as i can delete them and the libraries however, i cannot navigate using the Drive API to my Multimedia folder where all my files are to add them as libraries.

thought i had made a mistake by using the mount point so scrapped it and went back through the setup but this time selecting my whole drive with no mount point. plex does the same thing but creates them in the root. when i add a folder and brows the API i only see the 3 default library folders. when i browse the /mnt/remote folder it shows Plex with the 3 default libraries and Secure which is still encrypted.

Where am i going wrong in this set-up to allow me to see the Multimedia folder so that i can add my media.

thanks in advance for reading and giving any feedback.

Fixed - Set up from scratch once more. renamed my Multimedia folder to Plex and its all dropped in, including my custom libraries.
