Moving Library to Dropbox

crossi · 05-07-2012, 02:59 PM

I tried moving my library using Switch/Create Library and pointing to to my Dropbox Folder but got a message saying that folder wasn't empty. Do I have to make an empty folder in Dropbox first to receive my Library?

Yes.

Calibre wants a new empty folder to copy its library into. That is the only way that Calibre can know that all files in the designated folder are under Calibre control.
