Create Your Own Media Server On iOS or Mac Using Plex

Not everyone wants to own a Media Server of his own, but the advantages of having one is a great deal, you can share a lot of Media on these servers and afterwards can stream it from different devices using different apps. if that Server is created using an Official app or site and there are a lot of services available to provide such facility, then after a little time every new service pop-ups providing even better experience, so which one to choose, if it comes to your iOS device.

Plex is another service, that offers a Media server client that you can use to create a Media server of your own.
