      Pi Model: Pi 3
      Power Supply used: (If using a Pi): 5V power supply purchased with Pi 3
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected: USB flash drive (64gb storing roms) ... WANT TO ADD a powered USB Drive for Kodi files.
      Error messages received: None yet, haven't tried anything to mess it up, yet.

      I am using the automatic mount method (https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive#automatic-mount-easiest-method) for my ROMS. I am new to Kodi and have been legally ripping my dvds to watch. Can I store those files on a second USB drive plugged into the rPi?

      Do I just add a "retropie-mount" folder and then the proper movie structure folders below that to that new drive as well or will that mess everything up and not work?

      Looking for the simplest way to store and watch my files.

          @DigitalMonkey Oh, that is sweet! Thanks. Sorry, I thought it would just be more complicated!
