Also I have some suggestions. I'd like to see some simple things that are kind of a given. 1: we need a better way to explore files, add files, delete files and so one. we need a native app kind of like windows file explorer. 2: We need a easier native way to set up external network sharing for out of network access. 3: We need it to somehow read and right and share files on NTFS, and exFAT Drives. I have external drives I use for plex and my old nas used them and stored 6000 plus movies along with 50 sum tv series. Connecting them forces me to Format them to ZFS which means losing all those files and the only way to get around it is to figure out how to access remotely the folders already on Hex os on another computer and transfer files over network which is a SLOW option for that many files and risks also losing some files or corrupting them. I know this is new and things take time but these are things i think are basic and should be priority. Things need to be made as simple as can be for those like myself who are new to all this and are learning. a lot of the TrueNas functions are foreign to me and are like trying to read Chinese. I'm used to Terra-Master and while they SUCKED on many levels some of the basic features were there and i still had the ability to upload download files, use exFAT, and NTFS external drives for storage and so. I would like to eventually find a great quality internal hard drive that is 24 tb plus hard drive or 2 of them to install in my new set up one day but they are EXPENSIVE. Even the externals i just baught were not cheep. They are costing me almost 600 dollars. I don't have the money to shell out to get expensive hardware. This is why I chose Hex OS because its advertised to be simple and easy. I follow Linus Tech and big fan and I trust his judgment on this. I just want to use it for Plex and File Storage. I want to access Plex and my files remotely like I did with Terra-Master and also Share Plex with Family and Friends remotely. Eventually I'd Even consider trying to find a way to use it to start my own Minecraft Server. But that's a ways away for now.

I tried to update when i got the notification. It would not start the update and said failed to update and now the update is gone in my notifications.

I have a few questions, I'm thinking of buying this but I need to know a couple things. 1: Plex- if i set up plex on here can i still access all my movies on plex remotely anywhere? Or am I confined to my network only? For Example I give my family access to my plex for them to watch from their homes. Can they still do so? 2: Remote File add and delete - Can I access my files from anywhere and add files from anywhere remotely or do am I confined to my network only! If i'm confined to my network is there a app were i can get around this to make it accessible remotely? 3: External Hard Drives - I have external hard drives with files on them. Can i access these and set permissions for family in my network. I know You have the folder feature with permissions but what about hard drives with files already on them? And if i mount them will it wipe the drives and make me lose my files? I'm new to this and coming from Terra-Master were they ripped me off. I bought just under 2 years ago a F2-210 from them. Brand new and now it is no longer able to be updated on the OS, apps are starting to not work and the outside access of my NAS is supper slow and terrible. Contacted them and they refuse to help. They pretty much no longer support it. Apparently this is a common Practice of them. Thought of going to Synology but I am hearing terrible things about them too. So I saw this on Linus Tech and being a long time supporter i am considering giving you a try. I am planning to wipe an old computer and install this on it. which was another surprise that a old PC has way better hardware then a Terra-Master F2-210. So Sad.
