Clara HD Cloud Library

AJMK · 07-21-2024, 12:56 PM

Hay All,

I managed to get a working sync with my Google Drive to import books.
A pleasant way to get book on my reader without using USB.
Only thing is: books imported that way end up in a directory called 'kobocloud/Library' and are shown in the Library-Menu without a picture of the front of the book.
If I open a book THERE IS a front picture as; but it does not show in the Library

All my other books are in root in a directory called 'Books' and show alright in the library.
And if I copy the cloud-imported books to that, the picture apears.
Any ideas?
Or is this normal for (Kobo)Cloud-imported books?

I took a closer look at my Google Drive setup. The file on my Kobo ereaders show up in .kobo/google_drive and not in kobocloud/Library when downloaded. The front cover thumbnails are all over the place depending on how large the image in the ebook is with no stretch to fit but they are there. This is with 4.38.23038 on a Sage and 4.39.23027 on a Libra Colour. The thumbnails match what I see with the same book on Dropbox. This suggests that you are using a 3rd party tool to sync with Google Drive so discuss the issue in the thread for that tool. Probably the Support for more cloud services: Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. or the author's Github site.

True, I am using a 3rd party tool to sync books from my Googly Drive.
My Clara HD has not yet such function in the firmware (as I believe newer readers have).

Thank you for the links.
I will try again at the discussion by the author 'fsantini'.
