Would Calibre have any advantages for me?

Background:
I've got about 250gb of ebooks, maybe of which are things I had scanned by a company from my old collection of paper books. I use Marvin mostly as an e-reader these days but also own a Kindle. On an external hard drive I have the books organized in nested folders and I connect this to a PC or Mac which I side load into my Kindle or Dropbox for Marvin. I'm fairly quick at navigating the current file structure for books.

I'm curious about how I'd go about using the "portable" calibre hosted on dropbox for a collection this size? There's no way I can dish out for that many gigs on dropbox, do you see any advantages to me even using calibre (Marvin plug-in certainly), but what's so much better than using a file structure that I'm quick navigating? Seems I'd have to split up my collection and host a smaller one on Dropbox? Please discuss
