Set Up Plex Media Server
Plex Media Server helps you manage your photos, videos, and audio files that are stored on an external
USB hard drive that is attached to your router. Plex allows you to stream media files to other devices that
are connected to your network.

it is ready for sharing. By default, the USB storage device is available to all computers on your local
area network (LAN).
