    If you are using the default "data" volume name, then it is \\nasname\data\.apps\plexmediaserver

    You need to use NAS admin credentials to see it with Windows file sharing (and .apps is a hidden folder, so if you want to browse it you need to set the windows folder option to see hidden files). You can of course also see it with ssh.

    If you are changing config files, make sure you stay with the linux newline convention. Notepad++ is one windows text editor that lets you save linux-compatible files.

    Is this on your Ultra 4?

    And what firmware are you running?
