Hi everyone,

I did some extensive searching, but I couldn't get a solution to my problem.

I am using dropbox to sync my files across systems. Naturally, I would also like to sync my calibre library. However, I use a little program called securstick that encrypts all my data in my dropbox and mounts it is a (readable) webdav drive. In other words: dropbox data is not readable prior to decryption and is only accessible on the mounted drive.

What this eventually boils down to is that I need to be able to put the location of my calibre library on a webdav mount (dav://127.0.0.1:2000/X/Library). It shows up on my computer, but when I try change the location in calibre, it doesn't show up and I can't browse to it either. Pasting the location doesn't work either, I get the following error:
ERROR: Bad location: /home/[USERNAME]/dav:/127.0.0.1:2000/X/Library is not an existing folder

So, does anyone know if, and how, it is possible to move the location of my calibre library to a webdav mount?

[I am using Linux Mint/Ubuntu]
