KOReader and Dropbox

autagi · 12-27-2020, 11:27 AM

Hi,
where can I find the folder ./Kobo/Dropbox that I see when I connect my Kobo to PC?

On the other side if I want to use dropbox integration of KOReader and I follow instructions, if I try to create app called KOReader it tells me already exists

Thank you for the link.
My question is:
if I want to use either original kobo reader and Koreader I have to put my books in two differents folders of dropbox:
the original one is named "Rakuten Kobo" and the sencond one is named as my dropbox app.
So I have doubled the space used on my dropbox.
Connecting my kobo to the PC I see the folder ./kobo/Dropbox where are stored books downloaded by original reader, then is it possible to read this folder from Koreader?
thanks

PC

Code:

./kobo/Dropbox

would be device

Code:

/mnt/onboard/.kobo/Dropbox

See its contents in KOReader is possible, assuming there are plain ebooks inside and not some sort of obfuscated mess.

You'll need to enable "show hidden files" on Filemanager and navigate there in case you moved your home dir (it is /mnt/onboard by default on Kobos).
