Thank you.
Create Switch: Use Existing
will add the Libraries to the Quick switch List

Connect your HD and use the Disk Management to assign a specific drive letter, that way, whenever you plug in the drive, regardless of which USB port, it will always get the same letter (and Quick switch will work). I use L:




BTW running FROM a Library inn the cloud is not recommended.
Also: Pause the shadowing when Calibre runs or you will get problems
