Hi David,

Thank you for confirming the behavior and your research. Here is exactly my point: let Calibre close his database. Then OneDrive will pick-up changes from the cloud. Calibre then can reload the database. You can see it like a "forget & refresh" button in the GUI. These are all existing functions of Calibre - open, write state, close DB, so there is no much new code to write. And nobody speaking on reversing the OneDrive code. Cloud syncs in this aspect behave all the same - file open for write -> no sync.

Cloud people like me will be happy.

That's the whole point of cloud vs carrying the USB stick - you always have all your data with you (and safe).

Kind regards,
Anton
