My main concern is it doesn’t seem like Plex is working with Amazon to provide this service, and is instead just piggy-backing on Amazon Drive to make it work for their liking. For starters Camera Upload, Mobile Sync, Cloud Sync, Media Optimizer, DLNA, and DVR are currently not supported, but Plex says they’ll be working to add support for those over time. Plex says not all the features of a standard Plex server are supported with a virtual server using Amazon Drive. Add in the $39.99 per year cost of a Plex Pass and you’ve essentially got your own private streaming service for around the cost of a Netflix or Amazon Prime membership. This allows the Plex app to stream media directly from the Amazon Cloud Drive, without needing to have a PC or NAS running Plex’s server software.Īmazon’s Cloud Drive costs just $59.99 per year for unlimited storage. Plex Cloud links a Plex Pass to an Amazon Cloud Drive account.
You can join the discussion on Plex Cloud on the OC3D Forums.Plex has just announced Plex Cloud, which may be the simplest way to access all of your personal media from anywhere, without needing to leave a PC or NAS drive on all the time. Hopefully, this new feature will be complete and exit beta soon, as I would personally be very interested in hosting my media on the cloud with Amazon and Plex.
Right now Plex Could is a feature that is only available in beta to those who register interest in this new feature, though signing up does not automatically enrol you in the beta. Your Plex account will then need to be linked to your Amazon Drive account in order to access your media. Plex Cloud users will need to have an Amazon Drive subscription, which will cost around $60 per year in the US or £55 per year in the UK. With Plex Cloud, all of that effort has been moved to Amazon's Drive service, which means that you no longer need to host your own media, pay the running and startup costs or deal with data redundancy. Traditionally Plex users would need to build/create their own server providing the necessary computational power, bandwidth and storage to host and stream their own content. Plex Cloud now lets you create your own cloud media library with the help of Amazon Drive, effectively allowing Plex users to create their own personal Netflix-like service on the cloud.
