Calibre stores all information (meta data and covers) in each unique book directory. When you run Calibre for the first time it will prompt you to select the language you want to use and the location of your library. Make sure to create a new folder for your new Calibre library.

This is to set up the cloud connection options in Calibre Companion

1. Download a cloud application (Dropbox or OneDrive). A key differentiator here is to make sure you download the desktop version of the cloud application. Once you do so, you’ll easily be able to move your Calibre Library into the cloud application.

How To Move Books From One Calibre Library To Another

2. Find your local Calibre Library that was created when you downloaded Calibre. If you added books to Calibre you should see folders inside of it with the authors names. This has the key file in it called “metadata.db” that helps Calibre Companion connect to your library.
On my mac, this defaulted under the path User/(my name)/Calibre Library

Change Calibre Library Location

3. Copy the whole folder, in my case that would be “Calibre Library”. This is important because Calibre has organized your library in a certain way with author folders and files that allows CC to understand them. Once you copy the whole folder (which contains the metadata.db file) you can paste it into your cloud drive.
4. Allow the folder and all its contents to sync with your cloud application, depending on your library size, this could take a while. You should see in your file management (finder for mac) that there is a syncing process for each of the files that you copied over.
5. Connect via Calibre Companion and enter in your credentials for your cloud application. If the metadata.db and file were correctly copied over, you should have a screen in CC like the first screenshot. If you try to download a book and it fails, that means that the Calibre file structure for books was not correctly copied over. It should look like the second screenshot.
