How to access metadata in books synced through Connect To Folder?
Those of you using the "Connect To Folder" feature to sync books, how are you actually using and organizing your books on the destination device since there's no metadata.db or OPDS file?

I've used Connect To Folder to sync many of my books to my Dropbox for iPhone access. It's a bit hard to navigate this huge list of books on the iPhone Dropbox app without my metadata, though. I tried to create an OPDS file/server with calibre2opds but it can't because there is no metadata.db file. There is a file called ".metadata.calibre", is this the same thing as metadata.db with a different name? Even if it is I don't see any way to tell calibre2opds to use it. Is there any way to make an OPDS?

If not, is there any other way to create some organization or access the metadata or create a proper metadata.db file for the folder?
