Exporting to dropbox or google drive

cry8wolf9 · 05-11-2015, 05:13 PM

First I want to say I'm not asking about changing the file structure on how the books are saved I did see that.

Now my question is, is there a way to automatically save to device (being the google drive or dropbox) when a new book is added? I currently have my library saved in my Dropbox folder but I'd rather be able to search by book name not author.

@cry8wolf9 - not that I know of.

Maybe you could use a 'live synch' tool to do a one way mirror. I'm thinking of something like Free File Sync's Real Time Synch feature, or GoodSync's On File Change; maybe IOS Time Machine if it will interop with Dropbox, Google drive etc

I don't understand the 'relationship' between 'auto send to dropbox on add' and searching, by title, author etc. Calibres search operates on its database not on the content of the author/book folders.

Searching on Dropbox (I assume from other devices/locations) should be able to find the subdirectories by book title. Scrolling through the list is not going to work, of course...

calibre has no way to auto-save-to-disk. You might be able to rig something with [GUI Plugin] Reading List and connect-to-folder, though.
