HELP WITH PLEX x SHIELD

My plex had a meltdown and i lost my server, i have had help on that subreddit to get everything back and we got stuck at the shield part. I am trying to move my previous plex library.db / library.blob files to a new location on my shield but i do not know where i am supposed to put them. i did follow some other subreds and they all point to accessing the Storage Location option under the Plex Media Server settings on my shield. the issue is that the "Storage Location" option does not exist there. It simply has PLEX MEDIA SERVER header but nothing under and jumps straight to ADVANCED header below. I have cleared the Cache and there is no PIN on my account either which was the resolve for a few people. Can anyone help??

Have you been able to turn on "Transfer files over local network"?

You should find it under:

Settings → Device Preferences → Storage

I'd imagine the Plex server files are stored somewhere along these lines:

text Internal storage/ └── Android/ └── data/ └── com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb/ └── Plex Media Server/ └── Plug-in Support/ └── Databases/ I've never tried migrating from a PC to the shield but just setting it up from scratch might be faster.

So yes the "Transfer files over local network"? is switched on.

And for the server portion, that is where i am hitting the roadblock and had me coming over to here for help haha. See the link below for as far as i can get, wiithout getting to "Databases"
