Running dropbox sync from within KOReader?

ctop · 01-29-2020, 09:02 PM

Hi there,
I recently switched to a Kobo Forma (a big upgrade from my Sony) and settled into using KOReader for my reading. However, I find the Dropbox syncing within KOReader is crashing, and also I would like to still be able to read the synced files with the stock reader, if that turns out to be necessary, so I would like to use the syncing that can be set up on Kobo. What I am doing now to get new books is: (1) leaving KOReader, (2) initiating refresh & download on the Kobo UI and then (3) go back to KOReader.

Since this is a bit cumbersome, I was wondering if I could issue the sync command somehow from within KOReader? It seems to even have a terminal after all, but what is the command?

Any help appreciated,

Ctop

Open an issue on KOReader's GitHub with more details (and a crash log) about the dropbox crash.

Because there's approximately a 0% chance of being able to piggy-back on Nickel's own syncing. Because it's no longer running

.

(Running a random script that may happen to do a sync (i.e., rclone), yes, that's been sitting on my TODO list for a while now, but that's it).
