Adding network drives/NAS to FreeNAS

[gordonb60]

I am a new user, set up Freenas 11.2 Beta3, working storage on box with Plex plugin. I have a WD MyCloud and another WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra with files on them that I would like to add to Freenas so Plex can use them. I did a google search and really cannot find the answer that works yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you read the manual? http://doc.freenas.org/11/storage.html#import-disk

Yes, and that doesn't seem to get me able to import a network storage that has an IP address on my network

No you don’t do that, FreeNAS is the storage. If you want to dump data onto it from an external hard drive you mount it according to the manual

Thanks. I was hoping to add my other storage for the Plex jail, but it looks like I would need to move all the data over, then I will need bigger drives installed.
