Calibre Cloud Pro & Synology NAS

Hi All,

I've been using Calibre and Calibre Cloud pro for sometime and it does everything I need. My Calibre library syncs to a Dropbox account and I can view my library on my Android device with Calibre Cloud Pro.

My problem is that the free storage that I was enjoying with Dropbox is about to expire and I'm looking for an alternative and thought that the WebDAV option in Cloud Pro could be the answer, but I can't get it to work.

The WebDAV server on my Synology seems to check out because I can connect to it using ES File Explorer from my Android device.

When I try to connect via Calibre Cloud Pro though I get a "connection failed" error. If I deliberately type the wrong password or username though I get a "wrong password or username" error as you would expect but it does suggest that it's making an effort to connect.

I'm wondering if it's some kind of syntax error? Es File Explorer has separate boxes for Server, Port, Username etc. Calibre Cloud Pro just has a WeDAV URL, Username and Password box.

I've tried all the combinations I can think of for the URL e.g.
http://myservername.synology.me:5005/
but none of them will work.

Can anyone help? Thanks and regards.
