Lastly, how do you move the folder out of Public and to somewhere else?

I assume you can just drag it from the public folder - mine is it's own folder in the "root" directory (for lack of a better term) - when I open our Dropbox I see folders for Documents, Music, Apps, Photos, Public, etc. That's where I put the Calibre folder as well.
I'm not 100% sure the Public folder was the issue, but here's where I'd read about it
http://calibre2opds.com/2012/04/30/d...re2opds-users/ - and here's where I first saw the directions for creating an OPDS catalog with Calibre and Dropbox
http://dearauthor.com/ebooks/create-...-opds-dropbox/ . I don't know whether it's the "public" part or the OPDS part that creates an issue (I'm sure there's an explanation in those posts somewhere but when things get too deep, well I get a little
...) - there's talk about html files and encrypting them - I know we can send links to family & friends so that they can see the things in our Public folder on Dropbox (videos and pics), maybe that's what they're referencing. I don't really know.
I also don't know whether all the steps outlined in these articles are performed by Marvin, or if it's a different process to get the OPDS catalog within Marvin. I created it easily enough without my library being in the Public folder, and it worked - it just makes me nervous because I'm just not educated enough about all this stuff at this point. So until I learn something more definitive I've deleted the OPDS catalog & I'll stick with what I've been doing - accessing Calibre via wifi when I'm home, and via Dropbox if I'm not.
