sync to phone problem

[cwdavi1]

I'm running Calibre 5.43 x64 on a W10 PC and use Calibre Companion on my Samsung A71 5G to read books.

I have a 20 GB Calibre library on my PC. I managed to very slowly wirelessly transfer 14 GB to a 512 GB SD card on my A71 but can no longer connect with wifi or a USB cable even when I select wireless device/don't sync books. The initial connection starts ok but then times out, possibly in generating the book list to send to the phone. Error message at end.

I've searched for a solution but could not find one.

My ebook structure on my phone is sdcard/Books/title-author(id) so I guess I need to change that to something like sdcard/Books/A/Asimov/title.

I'm debating abandoning Calibre Companion and just exporting the library directly then copying it to the sdcard. I read books with fbreader but it wouldn't be easy to navigate 20 GB of books plus then I'd have to Manually copy any new books to the phone.

I've read suggestions to try Calibre Sync but I'm not sure if that's the way to go.

Please point me in the right direction. Periodically I add books to Calibre on my PC and need a way to automatically sync to the phone.

Thank you

Just do so first.
This is known issue.

See https://web.archive.org/web/20170904...=95&artlang=en how to do so.

I use {first_author:%1.1s}/{first_author}/{title} - {authors} as template

(you can add {id} if you want - my template doesn't include {id} because Wireless Device Sync and Content Server/Cloud Connection use different ids for some reason)
