OwnCloud is free and open source software
that operates as a very simple way to set up your own syncing,
Dropbox-like cloud storage system on your own server or web site. It's robust enough that it has replaced Dropbox in all except a few choice cases.
Headless Wi-Fi setup
connects your Raspberry Pi 3 automatically to the preferred Wi-Fi
network by simply editing and existing file on the dos partition before
inserting it into your Raspberry Pi
WebTools is a collection of utilities to help with the management of your Plex Server. This plugin is not limited to the usual channel interface. Instead, it utilizes a built-in webserver to display a responsive web interface which also works on mobile devices, allowing you to manage your Plex Server from any device.
Interactive menu content:
A simple master, intuitive and interactive menu program is provided for a easy configuration of network, storage, drives, shares, Plex Media Server version upgrades ( without breaking existing libraries or settings ). The user does not need knowledge of networking or Linux in order to configure all required settings as the master menu does this by asking a few simple questions and then writes the configuration changes to achieve the desired result. If you are interested in how this was done you merely need to read through the script to understand the changes that are being made.

The network menu configuration options easily configure the Plex Media Server as a access point server (Wireless AP ) or join your raspberry pi to a existing Wi-Fi network (Wireless Client). Ease of setup for Wireless AP or Wireless Client is achieved by simply selecting a option from the interactive network menu. Wireless AP allows client devices and applications to connect directly to the Raspberry Pi to consume streaming content. Wireless Client allows the Raspberry Pi to connect to an existing wireless network where any clients on the existing wireless network can access the the Raspberry Pi to consume streaming content. Wi-Fi configurations can work together or simultaneously with the LAN Ethernet adapter regardless of the LAN adapter configuration, by default the LAN interface is set to acquire a IPv4 address unless the Install DNS/DHCP Server option is used. IP Forwarding and Masquerading can be used to configure your Raspberry Pi PMS as a internet enabled Wi-Fi access point where one of the network connections is internet facing. DNS and DHCP are automatically deployed in Wireless AP option, however if you need your Raspberry Pi to also be a standalone Ethernet connected server the Install DNS/DHCP Server can be selected.
Media configuration sub menu options are listed below.

After simple menu driven configuration a quick reboot provides the mounted drives for access.
