Organize your media chaos
Have a ton of photos scattered all over the place? A big music library that you’d love to be able to listen to at work or the gym? A huge collection of movies to watch when you finally find the time? Never fear, the power of Plex is here! Plex organizes your media, makes your collections look great, and makes it easier than ever to find what you’re looking for.
Sharing is caring
Expand your media universe by sharing. Plex lets you easily pick and choose what to share with family and friends, giving everyone access to all your favorite stuff. Now it’s simple to share vacation photos of the kids with grandma across the pond, show off your mad GoPro videos with your friends, or flaunt that music collection that you’ve been carefully curating.
Offline enjoyment
Mobile Sync lets you sync movies, music, and photos to your mobile device for offline enjoyment wherever your life may take you. Whether you are in the air, underground, or in the middle of the ocean, you will be able to access whatever you synced before you got there.
Parental control
Keep the kiddos away from stuff they shouldn’t see with parental controls. Or, if you have several people under the same roof, give them each their own managed account. This means no more losing where you are in a TV episode when someone else decides to watch without you.
There’s so much more!
