**** DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS VIDEO ****
Rather than deleting this video, this post is left here as a warning so that you know not to follow it's instructions on placing media in the 'plex' Shared Folder. The installation of Plex Media Server will create the 'plex' Shared Folder and its purpose is to hold the operational data used by the Plex. You should use a different Shared Folder for media files and allow the plex user read-only access, ideally, unless you want Plex to be able to delete media files in which case read/write access is needed.
The Plex installation places enough warnings in the plex Shared Folder to not place media files in it, as can be seen in the video itself ... it's unclear why this has been completely ignored in the video.
