Showing the formats doesn't hurt.
If all you want is to show your friend your library, maybe a better option is a one-way sync that copies the db to dropbox daily, and overwrites the db if necessary. Your friend will just get a copy of the db and that will avoid any clashes. Your real database never gets touched by dropbox, no matter what.

Thanks for the clarification, and good idea, I'll look into the one way sync. Thanks.
