Folder problems with GDrive
I recently rebuilt my desktop and downloaded Calibre. My books were stored on Google Drive so all was well. I told Calibre to use my existing library and a second later I was looking at my books.
The problem started when I clicked on one. It said there was nothing to view. After a little investigation, I discovered that a new folder had been created Caliber/Albert Camus/The Stranger (267) with a modified time of a few seconds ago. Beside it was: Caliber/Albert Camus/The Stranger which contained my book versions and other files. I did a google search and found people complaining that GDrive creates duplicates and doesn't play nicely with Calibre. Fine, I'm agnostic, so I installed Dropbox. Copied the folder, updated to dropboxes servers, waited for the synch to finish. Opened Calibre. Pointed to the dropbox folder. Verified. Opened a book. Same problem. I know I'm not the only one to encounter this but the posts I've read don't seem to point to a solution. Does anyone have any ideas? |

If that solution doesn't work then you will need to create a new empty library and add the books to it from the old library using the Add books from directories, including sub-directories (One book per directory...) option. Moderator Notice
For every person new to the Mobileread Calibre forums please take a look at the sticky threads at the top of each calibre forum. There is a treasure trove of information in these threads that I find invaluable. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 08-05-2013 at 01:00 AM. |
