Marvin / Calibre / Dropbox reading location sync
Hi everyone,
I just bought Marvin today and I'm starting to feel like a dummy since I've been googling and reading tons of threads but I can't figure this out: how do I sync reading locations between Marvin and Calibre over dropbox? It seems like it would be incredibly easy since I have both Marvin and Calibre synced over dropbox but... I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Could someone please give me some insight? Thank you |

Using the [GUI Plugin] Marvin XD you can sync Marvin's data with calibre custom columns, but it requires connecting as a device. Marvin will not write to calibre's database stored in Dropbox -- that would be bad.

Hello @Joe4TheRecord. The purpose of Dropbox syncing in Marvin is only to sync locations across copies of Marvin on different iOS devices. As @eschwartz suggests, for calibre, the Marvin XD plugin is what you're looking for.
