Playing files directly from cloud or a network drive #752

Feature request

Ability to play files directly from a network storage.

I think there are also users that have bigger collections of audiobooks and find it hard to import all of it into the app. Not only the app struggles when importing more files at once, but some are also limited with storage on their phones.

The app could maybe have two types of lists, one that would hold imported files, and the other one that would be created by user but linked directly with a folder in network or cloud.

I think of it as a Plex library but for audiobooks

Integration with Plex would be spectacular.

Just commenting to say that I would love this feature! If somehow also storing the play time data on a network drive would allow the app to be inherently cross device that would also be amazing!
