Iirc, I have never had to restore my calibre library yet . So I don't know if the exported data files on my Google cloud will not work if I were to download them and choose to ”restore the library”. Are you telling me that even though I don't use two-way sync, restoring manually downloaded calibre files from my Google drive account will prove to be ineffective?
I am aware that Google drive changes the modification date of files to whatever the upload date and time is. but I don't see how that will affect manually restoring a calibre library. Does calibri look at modification date when it's time to restore a library?
