Sharing a library

You can share one of your cloud libraries (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, R2) or a Telegram library with other people. Each of them sees it from their own Kevra account, with their own favorites and their own progress, without you handing over any passwords.

Pro plan: sharing a library is part of the Pro plan. The person receiving it needs at least the Plus plan to see it.

How to share it

1. In the Library tab, tap the name at the top to open Your libraries.
2. On the library's card, open the three dots → Share library. (Also from Remote library → the library's ⋯ menu.)
3. In Search by @username or email, type their username or their exact email.
4. Tap the person to give them access. There's no send button: tapping them is enough.

They'll get a notice in the app and an email, and the library will appear among theirs by itself.

What each person can do

Under People with access, tap each person's menu to choose their role:

• Read only: sees the catalog and downloads books.
• Can manage: can also sync, correct matches, review what's pending and upload books (on R2).

Only you, as the owner, can give and remove access or delete the library. To take someone's access away, choose Remove access.

If someone shared a library with you

• You get a notice: "… shared «…» with you". Tap Open it, or find it later in Your libraries.
• It shows "Shared by…" and your role.
• If you don't want it, open its three dots (or the ⋯ menu in Remote library) → Leave this library. To get it back, ask them to share it again.

Common questions

• Can I share my home server or my Audiobookshelf? No: those connections only live on your phone. Cloud and Telegram libraries can be shared.
• Can the other person see what I'm reading? No. You share the files, not your progress or your notes.
• I no longer have Pro. The people with access stop seeing the library until you subscribe again; you don't need to invite them again.
