Is it still recommended not to access calibre library from a NAS? If so, why not? For those who tried and it didn't work, what did it do? Corrupt files etc.? It's really useful obviously to use NAS as I can access wherever in the house and in particular one of my libraries is very large (manga library) so don’t want to put on computer. I currently have one of my libraries installed using option 2 (as a sort of test) and I can access it from my Mac mini and my laptop (or any computer with calibre installed and access to the NAS).

I have a ton of files, but no good workflow Folks who use their Synology to serve up ebooks and comics, tell me all about your setup. Do anyone have calibre server package for synology?. Synology NAS hosting Calibre database - help needed. Advise on Calibre installation on NAS (synology 415+) (2017). Hardware and software has changed so wondering if recommendation has changed? The posts are from a while ago so thought I would start a new discussion. In past posts and on the calibre FAQ it still says ‘ Do not put your calibre library on a networked drive’ where it recommended not to put calibre on a networked drive.
I’m wondering if it is still recommended not to put a calibre library on a NAS Server (Synology)? Or if there is a way to do this safely.
