@chaley -

@Blossom - could you relocate the Passport from the desktop to the laptop. If your husband needs access to non-calibre data on the Passport, and assuming it's simple file access, you could configure a share on your laptop he can use.

Or maybe you could put your calibre libraries on thumb drive. I recently bought a 64GB Toshiba thumb (~USD35.00) which sports regular 3.0 USB at one end an mini-usb at the other. That means it can be used on android devices as an OTG drive without any extras... to lose or malfunction. Then you could access the libraries directly with Calibre Companion via its Cloud-on-a-Drive feature... so I'm told
