Data synchronization between two PCs via Dropbox
Good afternoon!

I have the following situation: two computers, both with Calibre installed. The folder where the program saves the added books is cloud-based on Dropbox and is the same on both computers.

When I add a book on one computer, it appears in this folder on both PCs immediately. However, for the book to show up in the program on the second PC, I need to restart the program.

Is it possible to configure automatic scanning of the folder with library files?

Thank you in advance for your help!

. . . If you are using a file-syncing tool it is essential that you make sure that both calibre and the file syncing tool do not try to access the calibre library at the same time . . .
