You need to use a custom startup file to launch calibre if you want to do this.

If you look in the resources sub-folder of where you installed calibre you will see the file calibre-portable.bat. This file (which is liberally commented) shows you what options you have for controlling where calibre puts its files.

However if you are thinking of using DropBox do you need to do this? Since the calibre database is normally much smaller than the associated ebook files what are you hoping to achieve?
