Plex File Manager
A web-based file manager for Plex media servers, with large-file uploads and automatic library refresh after changes.
Overview
A self-hosted web app that makes managing a Plex media library practical from any device. It provides a browser-based file manager for the media directories and triggers a Plex library refresh automatically after files change, so new content shows up without manual rescans.
Key features
- Browse, upload, download, create, and delete files and folders from a responsive web interface
- Large-file support, sized for media (uploads up to 10 GB)
- Automatic Plex library refresh after file operations
- Operations restricted to designated media directories, with path validation to prevent directory traversal
- Dark, mobile-friendly UI
Technical details
A small Node.js server exposes a focused REST API for browsing, folder creation, deletion, upload, download, and a Plex refresh hook. Plex integration is optional and configured through an access token; without it the app still works as a standalone media file manager.
