it has been a while since I last asked so where are we on

1. link CC to my ( not gmail) dropbox account on new tablet
2. link CC to my pcloud on same device

i bought my current tablet after dropbox imposed the 3 device limit so I can't have the dropbox app on there, and I can't complete authentication in CC to dropbox with the email that I use for dropbox [ which I can't easily change]

pcloud would do as an alternative if supported. I have a copy of my libnrary in pcloud. I can see it on tablet in teh pcloud app but that's a virtual drive -= I can't get CC to see it as a local library because it can't see where pcloud keeps the virtual drive on the tablet. It does not shwo up in local storage.

if the answer to both of those is " don't hold your breath" , I will look again at Google Drive, but I wasted hours on that before. I copied the complete library folder of ~1500 books to G drive (complete with with metadata.db )etc but then CC could not find a library in my Google drive. [ Chaley opined that the GD - CC API was just very slow st searching through thousands of GD files to locate a possible Calibre Library and that if I deleted and re=sent metadata.db after sending all the books it might find it quicker.. but if GD is that flaky I'd rather not rely on it ]
