Here is Dropsync Pro syncing the contents to the SD card. I fired up Dropsync Pro and specified a folder on my SD card (calibre_test) and chose to sync my Dropbox folder, "ebooks", with it. I made a folder in my desktop's Dropbox folder called "ebooks" and set it as the library location in Calibre. I tossed together a relatively large Calibre Library to test out and see how well everything worked together. Its minimum Android OS requirement is v2.0. You will need to use Dropsync Pro as the free version has a very small folder size limit and other limitations. The Official Dropbox program is pitiful and about useless. Now that that part was covered and working well, I also wanted to be able to remotely sync changes I made to Calibre's Library on my PC and not have to manually move over files.ĭropsync Pro allows full 2-way Dropbox folder synchronization. It doesn't let you make changes, it is just a viewer. Leger Calibre lets you copy over an entire Calibre Library to an SD card and open it. The minimum Android OS requirement is v2.2. Leger Calibre is free (author will gladly accept a $2 donation, though). I HATED having to sync books to my eDGe, though. I have been using Calibre for a few years now and like it a lot. try out a syncing idea I was hoping would work. The whole reason for me getting the 64GB card was to, A. Party because you now have ~64GB (ok, more like 60GB) of usable storage space.Pop it in your PC and format to a proper FAT32 partition using fat32format by Ridgecrop Consultants, LTD (or use your favorite OS's various tools).Buy Sandisk 64GB MicroSDXC Card from Newegg.*If you are running Linux or Mac OSX, you should just be able to use their various tools to create a proper 64gb partition. Popped the card back in the eDGe, booted it up and it saw it and mounted it without issue. I left all the default settings as they were. Just select the drive and tell it to format. I ran it under Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit* without trouble. I got around this by grabbing fat32format by Ridgecrop Consultants, LTD. Larger than that and it will only show NTFS as a FS option when you go to format. Windows, by default, will only partition volumes of up to 32GB to FAT32. The eDGe wants a generic, standard FAT32 partition to function. If you leave the card in, it will boot to desktop, try mounting the card, then crash and burn again. The eDGe will tell you the card needs to be formatted, format it, then crash and reboot while trying to mount it. When you get the card I think it has an exFAT partition on it. I'll be wiping it and installing the Allmine Universal pretty soon, but I do not think this difference will matter for this to work.** **My eDGe is a Pocket eDGe running the Golden Allmine update. I'm getting 8-10MB/s writes and 15-20MB/s reads off it. After a bit of fiddling, I got it working 100%. I recently bought a Sandisk 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 ($65) card off Newegg to see what it would function in and, hopefully, to use it in my eDGe.
