If you want to put your calibre library directly in dropbox, follow these precautions:

1) Do not run both calibre and dropbox simultaneously. This is to prevent them both accessing the same files simultaneously. Instead run dropbox before starting and after quitting calibre.

2) Always run dropbox and let it finish syncing every time you quit calibre. This is to ensure that you do not accidentally make conflicting changes to the same library on two different computers connected to the same dropbox account.

3) Keep a backup of your library so that if something does go wrong you wont loose too much.

4) Do not share the same library between windows and non-windows machines. This is because windows has much shorter maximum path length restrictions.
