I'm just starting out and trying CC Demo. Most settings are their defaults.
My problem has been getting a library to work on Dropbox. Not my entire Calibre Library, but just a subset. At first my newly-created library folder in Dropbox was not recognized when attempting to connect to it from CC. It would appear in the CC connect browser, but without a green arrow.
I did finally get a working, empty library that I named "Dropbox Calibre Library" and got it recognized by CC.
Then in Calibre, Connect/Share > Connect to Folder, right click a book, and Send to Main Memory on my device. The book was listed as Main in the On Device column. The Jobs indicator would conclude with the log showing a bunch of activities, all finished with zero running times.
Next I'd connect to the library in CC and I get a On Device index. It showed 0 books in Yes and No. Nothing there.
But if I quit CC and simply go directly to the library in Dropbox, the book is there along with a couple metadata and driveinfo files. The book files can be viewed in a reader from within Dropbox. They just seem to be missing from CC. And, why does the Jobs log show steps happening but with no time.
Is the name of the library in Dropbox critical? I still do not understand why it was difficult to get CC to recognize a new empty library folder. Does it need to contain a metadata.db file to be recognized?
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
