Configuring Plex Media Manager
Although media can be added to the Plex directory at any time, it is recommended that some content be copied to
the Drobo, as it will be used during the initial configuration steps. This provides a visual confirmation that the steps
were followed correctly. Plex can monitor multiple directories and separating music, videos, and photos into separate
folders is recommended.

Server application from
the Applications Folder
or Windows Start Menu
Click on the Plex icon
located in the OSX toolbar
or task bar on a Windows
