Shield loses local access when using VirtualHere client on PC

I run a Plex server on my Nvidia Shield, and for some reason the built in "Allow files over local network" option fails after about 10 minutes of moving files to my USB drive.

VirtualHere fixes that, at least I thought, until I noticed that the Shield no longer has access to the drive when I "use this device" inside the VirtualHere client on my PC. So my server shuts down, nobody can access media. Is there a way to transfer files or "use this device" with VirtualHere with it having exclusive access and allowing my shield to still access the files as well? Great product, and I will buy if we can figure this issue out. Thanks in advance!

You cant use a USB device in two places at once. So if virtualhere uses it, it wont be available directly on the shield anymore.
