How It Works
Admins can log in with their Google account, select a Google Drive folder containing ebooks, and import all book metadata including thumbnails, file information, and automatically generated categories and tags.
The system scans the selected folder, extracts metadata from each PDF and EPUB file, downloads thumbnails, analyzes file names to generate categories and tags, and stores everything in a local SQLite database for fast access.
Users can browse the imported book collection, search by title, and filter by file type, category, or tags. Only the admin who imported the books can view the Google Drive links, ensuring privacy and access control.
Privacy & Security
Your ebook files remain in your Google Drive. Only metadata, thumbnails, and links are stored in the local database. Google Drive links are only visible to the authenticated admin user who imported the books, ensuring your content remains secure.
