<p>You mean a NAS on the local network? What would be the interface
to that? Local http(s)?<br>
Are there existing integrations for that with other apps?<br></p></div></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto">Synology is a NAS appliance, yes. However, it comes with mobile apps (the main one of relevance here is called Drive) that simulate the behavior of Box, DropBox, etc apps for synching arbitrary files.

<div dir="auto">This would definitely be awesome. Or, like
Xiphos on desktop, bring up the module manager on first boot
to guide the user through installation. Even being familiar
with Ezra it took me a moment to find the installer. Some sort
of first run guide might be a good idea for the app, in
general.</div>

<p>Yes, I'll definitely consider these enhancements.<br>

<p>Yes, I am currently not reading/writing other locations than the

Which Android version are you on? If this is not working with
Android < 11 than I may still be able to do something for the

I love Ezra's inline note editing. I would be curious about a
way for me to back up that content before I go too far with
using it.<br>

<p>Yes, that is also related to the point about syncing the
database.<br>
<br>
I am personally using an Android 10 tablet and there I don't have
the /sdcard issue yet. So there I am using the "DropSync" app to
sync a particular /sdcard folder with Dropbox. I manually changed
the location of the database in the configuration of the app. This
is quite neat because you can essentially switch back and forth
between Desktop and Tablet and work with the same data.<br>

NET is the primary display. When I select the first verse under any header and pull up the comparison pane to see other translations, all of them display text except for KJVA. The KJVA has text for the verse if I pull it up as the primary module, and it doesn't happen on other verses nor on other modules. I'm attaching a pair of screeneries to show what I mean.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Overall it is a very useful mobile app on tablet!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">--Greg</div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>
