Stream Cloud Movies with Plex & RcloneView — Mount Google Drive, Dropbox, or S3 as Your Library

Out of disk? Mount your cloud as a local drive with RcloneView and let Plex stream directly from it—smoothly, reliably, and without command‑line setup.

Plex is fantastic at organizing and streaming your media, but local storage fills up fast. Meanwhile, cloud buckets—Google Drive, Dropbox, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2, S3—offer cheap, virtually unlimited space. The missing piece is a clean way to make Plex “see” those cloud folders like a local path. Rclone’s mount command solves it, and RcloneView wraps that power in a simple GUI: pick a cloud folder, choose a drive letter or mount path, enable caching, and go. No terminal, no flags to memorize.
