With Plex, you can easily access your entire digital library from any compatible computer, smartphone, or streaming device without having to manually transfer files.

Plex Media Server (commonly referred to as just Plex) is a digital media player and organization tool that allows you to access the music, pictures, and videos stored on a single computer from any other computer or compatible mobile device.

You can install Plex Media Server software on a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer or on a compatible Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, then play the content on any other internet-connected device that can run the Plex app.

You can use any compatible device to watch movies, listen to music, and view pictures stored on a computer running Plex Media Server. When you do so, you can remotely access media files stored on your Plex Media Server computer over the internet, or let friends and family remotely view your movies, music, and pictures over the internet.
