Not enough upload bandwidth to stream your videos from home when away? Sync them up to one of your cloud storage accounts and the plex client will grab the file directly from there.

CloudSync gets treated as a separate server in your myPlex account that can have its own sections shared out to friends...

If you are interested in testing it out send me a PM..

Man, that sounds really good!

I could watch my collection of vids anywhere, interesting!

Well Plex already does that up to the limit of your home networks upload speed... What cloudsync does is let you chose content to be hosted outside your home server and trans-codes it to a really common format.... So that when the video is request it streams from the cloud storage instead of you home internet line.

Mr. Analog

I guess I mean being able to share multiple streams without crushing my home connection, that's pretty rad
