If I understand @ilovejedd & @BetterRed correctly, then syncing the files in the 'Calibre Library' folder in portable should be sufficient. Does portable scrape the directory structure for new additions at every startup? How would it know that there are new books there?
There is NO SCRAPE.
The DB is the authority on where the books are. This is the reason to NOT use the OS to make individual changes. The PATH to the book is in the DB
