I recently rebuilt my desktop and downloaded Calibre. My books were stored on Google Drive so all was well. I told Calibre to use my existing library and a second later I was looking at my books.

The problem started when I clicked on one. It said there was nothing to view. After a little investigation, I discovered that a new folder had been created Caliber/Albert Camus/The Stranger (267) with a modified time of a few seconds ago. Beside it was: Caliber/Albert Camus/The Stranger which contained my book versions and other files.

I did a google search and found people complaining that GDrive creates duplicates and doesn't play nicely with Calibre. Fine, I'm agnostic, so I installed Dropbox. Copied the folder, updated to dropboxes servers, waited for the synch to finish. Opened Calibre. Pointed to the dropbox folder. Verified. Opened a book. Same problem.

I know I'm not the only one to encounter this but the posts I've read don't seem to point to a solution. Does anyone have any ideas?
