Hi folks! New member here. I have a great Calibre Library on my own computer, and I would like to share (not sync) it with my wife's computer on the network. Is this possible? I tried to share the folder, then map a drive to it on my wife's computer. But when I installed Calibre on her computer and tried to point it there, it complained there was something wrong with the database. I did not want it to "fix" it, as it works great on my computer. Her computer does not have as much drive space as mine, which is why I wanted to share it. Does anyone know a way to get this to work? I did not see anything quite like this on the forum, so my apologies if this is a duplicate. Thanks!
IMHO Don't
Calibre is Single user access. Bad things can happen if 2 Calibre's access the same folder.
Consider using the Content-server feature to give the 2nd and additional users, read access
