Hi, so I am trying to get a workflow working for PDF files (Books and Magazines) that are sitting in my D:\Calibre on my Windows 8.1 64bit laptop. I want the PDF files to be stored in the cloud.

I have installed iCloud for Windows and enabled iCloud Drive on my iOS 8 iPad, and I have GoodReader installed. I never use my 5GB of iCloud storage space so this is a great use for that, as it is a permanent folder in GoodReader's folder structure, as opposed to a server you have to "connect" to, therefore the GUI is a little better (still not perfect) though.

The GoodReader folder resides in C:\Users\xxxx\iCloudDrive\GoodReader

I could manual copy all PDF files from my Calibre library sub-folders a variety of ways using file managers, however what I would really love is to find an app that will automatically check everyday if there are any new PDF files in D:\Calibre, and automatically flatten the folder structure and copy all PDF files into one folder - \iCloudDrive\GoodReader\Books.

I have a piece of software called SyncBack Pro which I use for daily scheduled synchronizing and backing up many of my folders to an external drive, and I tried to create a job that excluded .epub, .mobi, .jpg, .opf and just copied PDF files daily, however the developer has explicitly said again and again that they are against folder flattening because the app is focused on backup, and if you remove the folder structure you cannot restore.

The next step I would like to figure out is how to get annotated PDF files back into Calibre. I assume I could do it manually, just copy and the file back from iCloud and paste it into my Calibre library with the same filename?

Thanks for reading!
