As DMee stated Dropbox files are local. As long as she exits Dropbox prior to doing any multiple conversions she'll be fine.

Kovid is 100% accurate. Even though putting your calibre library in a Dropbox folder has many advantages it is also a minefield that users have to be aware of. The occasional hiccup during conversion being one of those mines. The biggest mine is attempting to access your library from more than one computer and not allowing Dropbox to fully sync from the cloud prior to launching calibre. This could cause libraries on two machines to get out of sync.
