Solving the google drive issue

Bluddy · 07-25-2021, 06:58 PM

Since google drive is one of the 3 major cloud providers, it would be nice if calibre supported it without having the possible threat of renaming that google drive appears to do. All that has to be changed is to change the directory convention. It can either be number-first or number-last, without the parentheses -- parsing should be able to deal with it either way.

Calibre doesn't support any cloud provider. If you use a cloud, you do so at your own risk.

(I use Dropbox myself, but I realize the responsibility is fully mine, should anything happen to my library).

If you ever use cloud storage with your active Calibre library, you risk corrupting your library and losing eBooks. Don't do it as it's not worth it.

Calibre is open-source so if that's all that has to be changed, why don't you submit the change - as Kovid Goyal often posts - Patches are welcome.
