Simple question about plex and my cloud home

Hello folks,

a little help here. I have a WD my cloud home, it can sync desktop folders, but the destination folder in the Mycloud can only be one called “sync from desktop”.

On the other hand, the Plex app on the Mycloud only look in its own “shared videos”, “shared music”, etc folders.

Basically I keep previous years videos and photos on the “shared videos” folder (so those are fine for plex streaming) and use the MC Sync to backup the current year videos stored in the desktop.

So, is there any workaround to allow plex to stream the synced folder?

(other than manually copying the synced folder on the Plex shared ones, or having 2 plex servers, one on the Mycloud and one on the desktop)

thanks!
