where is the Gdrive Plex folder located?

Posted February 10th, 2020 1050 0 gdrive plex

I followed the directions to sync my Gdrive with Plex

When I go into Plex to add that folder (so I can play videos from my Gdrive) I can't find where it is located. What do I put for the folder?

thanks

Hello!
If you have a seperate media folder (e.g. "MEDIA" that resides directly at the root of your Gdrive) that already includes your media content from the past, then go to your plex app and add '/mnt/remote/MEDIA' for your library path (append "TV" or "Movies" or any custom folder you might have created, for the corresponding category).
You don't have to add the new Google Plex folder as this is already included (so new content will be picked up by plex).
Don't forget to scan your library afterwards.

If you don't have a seperate folder for your media (e.g. starting fresh) and you want to stream from your Google drive, then you don't have to do anything as our plex integration with Google already handles new content under your new Google plex folder.
Just copy your content from your local seedbox towards your Google Plex subfolders (and delete afterwards) and plex will be able to pick it up.
You can also automate this process (advanced usage under the google integration with plex guide), if you haven't done so already.
