You can create as many folders as you like, keeping in mind that Plex really likes it if you keep things organized - especially TV shows, which are ideally stored in a nested structure e.g.
Granted, it’s a one-time operation, which means it’s hardly a show-stopper, but for those used to getting instant access to their files, it’s a different pace. Our tests show that the reality is a lot slower – more on the order of four to five hours. On a 5 Mbit/s upload connection, a 2.75GB HD movie file ought to take about 30-40 minutes, assuming you get full utilization of that bandwidth. Uploading content to Amazon Drive is easy thanks to the various clients Amazon provides - including a web-based interface - but it’s hardly fast.

From there, you browse and play your content as you always have, but now, your only limitation is your internet access speed. Plex Cloud shows up in your server list along with any other Plex servers you may have running. Plex Cloud gives your private media collection the Netflix treatment - simply fire up your Plex client of choice, whether it’s on Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or your PC’s browser or a mobile device (it must support secure connections), and sign in as usual. The benefits to Plex Cloud are significant: There’s no need to download, install and configure Plex software on your Mac or PC, there’s no need to leave that machine on 24/7 so you can access your content, and there’s no need to mess around with transcoding options, both inside and outside of Plex, in the event that your computer isn’t a powerhouse with the capability of handling all of your streaming demands.
