    So they think it’s acceptable to charge people to access their own files. Good Luck with that morons.

      Yeah this is why I don’t use Plex.

      At one point I installed it on my NAS. It goes through the setup, and then says I need to make a cloud account. Wtf? I am running locally hosted software on locally hosted hardware to access locally hosted files. Why do I need any cloud for this?

      I don’t. I uninstalled it.

      I thought I read that there’s no charge if on the same network. It’s just for accessing your files remotely from other networks.

        As long as their not Plex’s files I see no Issue that they should be compensated for.
