[synchronization] synch calibre via Gdrive with several Pc

godlich · 10-05-2013, 04:31 AM

Hi there,

I use calibre on 3 PC (My mom's, Dad's and mine). How can I synch them?

I configured calibre, so that the ebooks are saved on GDrive (Google Drive), but the ebooks do not show up in my fathers library. How can I set the location where that information is saved?

Many thanks in advance!

Google drive is incompatible with calibre. furthermore: passing a library through G drive will damage it (removes the (numbers) in the folder names

Success has been had with other clouds

Does the synchronisation with google work in the meantime?
How can I sync via copy.com or dropbox?

GoogleDrive is not compatible with Calibre as it messes with the folder names thus effectively corrupting your Calibre library.

Dropbox and Copy.com both work OK.

Thank you for the repy, which settings do I have to change to sync?

I have all the documents on Gdrive in a folder. But where is the meta-data stored?

You've been informed multiple times that Gdrive and calibre are incompatible. Knowing this exactly what are you asking?
