You will possibly need to add it to as a permanent mount point (this also means it will always be in the same location).

I believe the desktop will only mount when the user is logged on - something you generally don’t do on a server. As says, there are guides to adding NTFS support, if your drive is formatted that way. So I would like to make clear about how it works and what are the limitations. I’m not sure what level of support PiOS has. Raspberry Pi4 as a Plex Server Hello, Ive read many of posts about using RPi4 for Plex but it feels like in every thread there are different opinions. Writing access was considered “experimental” with Kernel drivers. NTFS has been read-only for over a decade, but writing files is more complicated and needed an external driver up until recently. The best way would be to use FAT32, which, if the video files are large, but under 4GB, is probably the most flexible way of doing things, if you are going to use the drive with other systems, otherwise format it native Linux. How are you mounting it? Have you added it to the list of mounted drives or are you relying on the desktop mounting system? The latter will only work with a logged on user, AFAIK.
