For those wishing to use Amazon Cloud Drive with their own Plex server https://amc.ovh/ has some great instructions. I've been doing this with very little issues for a few months now. EDIT: More up to date instructions at https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/58uhmo/guide_to_using...
Wow. "Unlimited" for $60/yr. Do you think they'd be ok with me uploading my entire 12tb library? I wasn't able to find any limits in the fine print.

I have around 8TB on Plex, so that won't work for me :(
well, you could create 5 accounts under the single master and have 5 tb online.. for 90 bucks a year.. just use an account for each service.. movies / tv / whatever :)

No. Plex doesn't support encryption, the data coming from the cloud providers needs to be plaintext. Google Drive and Dropbox have shown in the past that they're fine with you storing copyrighted content, you just can't share copyrighted content through their platform. This is why Dropbox and Google Drive are still supported while Amazon Cloud Drive was removed. That said, you can still set this up yourself with a VP…
> Google Drive and Dropbox have shown in the past that they're fine with you storing copyrighted content, you just can't share copyrighted content through their platform. Is there some kind of reference you can point at to support this pretty wild claim? Even if true, this seems the kind of informal policy that could change on a whim.
"Respect copyright laws. Do not share copyrighted content without authorization or provide links to sites where your readers can obtain unauthorized downloads of copyrighted content."
Note the "share", there's no reference to merely storing content.
Dropbox does seem to be "informal" though. They simply say they respond to complaints. I'm not sure how you'd be subjected to a complaint storing data privately though.

Google Drive and Dropbox both have extensive history regarding the storage of copyrighted content which basically boils down to storing it is fine, sharing it through the platform is not. This is even in their policies. I believe the DMCA is the same, there's nothing stopping you from possessing copyrighted content without a license, just the distribution and manufacture of it.
Plex allows sharing though. So it's a fine line. It's probably a small enough userbase, and it's personalized sharing as opposed to general p2p sharing. So it's under the radar. If it goes mainstream, Google/Dropbox will be forced to comply by the studios.

It's also painfully slow. I've been using it for the past few months, and it rescans my library every time I access it. Half the time it shows my libraries as empty. Overall it feels very unfinished.
I figured it would be too slow for daily use for my own needs, based on my current setup. I have a Nvidia Shield TV as the Plex server and living room Plex client, with a home-built NAS running OpenMediaVault for media storage. The Shield and NAS are both connected to Gigabit Ethernet, and I occasionally run into slowdowns if I'm trying to watch in the living room, my wife is watching in the bedroom via Roku, and my…
1. This essentially allows you to store all your favorite collection, what happens if Google Drive decide to wipe all those out?
2. Why not do this on a NAS?
I actually wish they would add support for HDFS- it's not a bad way to combine lots of somewhat-small (< 2TB) disks into a sizable amount of (seemingly) homogenous storage (without having to be super clever with mount points and hard links and BTRFS and junk like that).

Plenty of people on Reddit's /r/DataHoarder have done far more than that, easily into the tens of TBs. The problems come when you upload unencrypted copyrighted content or try to download more than 1TB in a single day.
