I have two pc's that use the same Calibre library. I have the library loaded in Dropbox with both pc's pointing to it and generally it works okay, each time I open Calibre on either device it shows the same records, updating as dropbox sync's.
I say generally, a couple of times its not reflected the new records on the other pc even though Dropbox is fully sync'ed to that PC. I've tried to repoint the Calibre library on the pc that is missing records by using the run welcome wizard but even though the new books are in the Calibre folder in Dropbox (i,e in the folder I am selecting)the Calibre home page on that PC is not picking them up.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening or can I simply not expect Calibre to remain in sync on both pc's?
It's become a major problem today as I added over 35 new books last night to Calibre using my W7 laptop and they are not showing in Calibre on my Surface and its a real pain to reload them again. The Calibre library folder on the Surface does have those books but they are not showing in the Calibre software.
Any advice or help would be appreciated, thanks
