Is there a 'best way' to keep a Calibre library + progress synced in the cloud?
Hi all
I'm looking at moving my library from Google Play Books to Calibre as long as I can sync across my laptops and a jailbroken Kindle running KOReader. I understand that I can sync my reading history and ebooks between my kindle and my laptop. But I don't know if there is a recognised best way to keep my calibre library and reading progress synced to cloud storage (eg Google Drive). I've looked in this forum but there are a lot of guides and some going back nearly 15 years and I wondered if there is an agreed upon 'best practice' I could follow? Thanks ![]() |

DO NOT put your library on Google Drive.
It changes the file names, which breaks linkages internal to Calibre. The only way to use GD is to first ZIP up your Library, THEN put it on GD |

The best way is to keep a copy of your library on a cloud, not your active library. Not on Google Drive, though, as that's incompatible with the library structure.
I keep a copy in Dropbox and use FreeFileSync to update the copy whenever I make changes to the master library. |
