Is this the folder with the files you are trying to add or the folder where your Calibre Library is?

The issue with using Calibre on a NAS is not so much where the files you are adding are stored but more to do with where your Calibre Library is stored.


CantOpenError: CantOpenError: unable to open database file

This would indicate that the issue is that your Calibre Library (and database) is on a shared drive, or that something else is locking/blocking it.

Move the Calibre Library to a local drive and then use the Switch library feature to link Calibre to this new library location.
