Moving library location
I am moving my 4 Calibre libraries from Dropbox to Google Drive. I use a cloud drive so I may access it from my desktop and laptop. I moved the files on my desktop. All the new library locations show up. But when I try to move a book from one library to another I get error message. Can't find library. Don't know how to fix that.
Also any tips in general about moving your Calibre library location will be appreciated. I still have to move the files on my laptop so they can find the new library locations. Thanks. Barbara |

Don't use Google Drive!
There are issues with the names used by calibre and how GDrive handles them. |

Thank you very much. I have recovered my libraries and moved them back to Dropbox. Now I either have to pay to use Dropbox (my bonus GB's are expiring) or try another cloud storage solution.
I had a bad afternoon until I got this worked out!! |

Most of the other cloud solutions seem to work fine with Calibre. The one that seems to be giving the most generous allowances at the moment is copy.com.
