I have created an additional Digikam collection on pCloudDrive that I can easily work with version 6.4.0. I will continue to explore these options while I make sure to save backups of my photos and database files.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">Jay Rutherford<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div>On Thu, May 14, 2020, at 07:31, Maik Qualmann wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div dir="ltr"><div>I don't know pCloud, but before you kill your image collection. From an OpenSUSE forum I know that digiKam does not work with pCloud. DigiKam requires the files locally or mounted (SMB). Under Windows, we also better support the UNC network path in digiKam-7.0.0-RC. In addition, the image collection with the current digiKam version can be easily adapted to a new image root path. Provided that the underlying directory structure does not change.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Maik<br></div></div><div><br></div><div class="qt-gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="qt-gmail_attr">Am Do., 14.

It works to preserve the metadata. I edited my Digikam configuration to write metadata to the "items" only and not the sidecar. (I agree that the metadata part of the Digikam configuration could be more clear in this respect).<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">How do I move the Digikam database files to the cloud drive? By doing the Database Migration tool as in /home/jay/pictures ---> /home/jay/pCloudDrive/pictures?
