Okay, I just transferred the %APPDATA%\calibre folder to another machine and get the following error when I start Calibre, because this machine does not have an E: drive:
calibre, version 2.46.0
ERROR: Failed to create library: Failed to create calibre library at: u'e:\\Users\\CeeDub\\Documents\\eBooks\\CalibreLib raries\\Main'.
You will be asked to choose a new library location.

Apparently, there
are other config files that contain local paths.
I'm pretty sure there used to be a time when all relevant (to me) settings were stored either in the metadata_db_prefs_backup.json or in the metadata.db, because I only synced the library folder itself and I used to get search history, recently viewed books, bookmarks, and everything else I can think of all synchronized with no effort.
The only thing that's really important to me (besides the library itself, obviously) are the bookmarks, though.
ETA: On the bright side, after I manually specify the correct library path, the bookmarks are synced now.
