Is that what you were thinking?
If it is already IN Calibre, why are you adding it (an why is it not showing in the Content server)?


I was thinking of using a dedicated Dropbox folder (Will dropbox allow a folder that does not exist on the server?) as the Auto-add folder. You could drop a book there from any location and Calibre would slurp it up If merge is enabled, it should (usually) update the existing book

Note: I don't use Dropbox (or trust any cloud service) and my content server only gets started when my wife needs a reload on the K4NT
