Can you preload files with Plex

Question

I am running Plex Server on my desktop, and I stream to my Windows Phone (WP 8.1) and Surface Pro 3 (W8.1) with it. However, it often happens that I am leaving my home for a bit to somewhere where there's no internet connection whatsoever. My question therefore is, can I "preload" files (movies or music) with Plex.

What I mean by this is that the movie is streamed while I am at home, and temporarily saved on the storage of the device and after playing it back, it is removed from the device. Is there such functionality available for Plex?

Answer 1

The good:

Yes it is possible, you can sync media to a device. Additionally Plex Sync supports the Windows Phone client. As far as I know they don't have any options to automatically delete the content from your device, but manually deleting it as it fills up isn't too hard.

The bad:

The feature requires Plex Pass, so either you have to pay a reoccurring fee or pay a lump sum upfront.
