Notes:
- Calibre Sync is not a reader app. You must install and use one of the many excellent reader apps available.
- Only Microsoft OneDrive for Personal accounts (shared) are supported. Please email us if you observe any inconsistencies.
- Due to restriction in Box API, Calibre Sync must acquire write permission in order to download files, download is not a read action on Box. Calibre Sync guarantees that it will not perform any write actions against your data in Box cloud account.
- Calibre Sync use WebDav API of Nextcloud and OwnCloud services, and it requires case sensitive file system to work properly. Therefore, you must make sure that your libraries are set up on case sensitive file system (Linux, recent MacOS, Windows NTFS with case sensitive enabled).

Permission explanation:
- Calibre Sync only requires "storage permission" to store downloaded book formats on your device.

*For Lollipop devices* you must have sdcard available so that the app can download books to external storage.

Ratings and reviews

Copied my Calibre database from OneDrive to pCloud. Syncing working faster now. However, with the latest Calibre Sync update (6.6.0+267) the library is no longer syncing. New books added are not showing, but I am still able to retrieve the books that are showing. Sync info showing last sync Oct 19 (two days ago).

Incredibly powerful app and just what I was looking for! The developer is actively working to make this app better with each release and incorporatesany of the suggestions and requests into new versions. I emailed requesting some support and they replied within two days. Awesome! I have 1400+ books in my library and use the Calibre server option. Quick to search and find books that I want to put on my device. For those wanting sync-read-position -> moon+ reader is it.

I really wanted to like this app. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I made a wireless connection from an Android tablet to a Windows laptop running Calibre. The library has about 9000 books. It failed after transferring a few hundred but Calibre indicated that many more were. This was confusing. The transfer speed per book was also slow. I uninstalled and reverted to Calibre Companion. Calibre Sync isn't ready for prime time yet.
