Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm sorry I somehow missed that section of the FAQs - as did my Google search.

I'm kind of disappointed that I can't find a reasonable way to share a library on two different computers. I get that the database is complex and all but it's still a bummer nonetheless. Suspending the Calibre software and server in order for the cloud (or otherwise) to sync the folders/files isn't a practical solution to the fact that the sync and Calibre cannot access the files at the same time. I don't reallyc seem to have a good way to work around this.

One last thing, you mentioned the "watched finder" being a possibility of something that might help. I searched for multiple possible names for that in the FAQs and Knowledgebase and couldn't find anything. Could you please point me towards what it's actually called within Calibre, where I can find help on it and the section in the software to set it up? That would be great.

Thanks again for your help.
