You are right - but hey, it's Dropbox! and as Long Calibre ist running, the Lock-File is still there / not deleted.
All other User/Clients will get a "Sorry, Calibre is already running by User XY".
It's only a simple solutiuon for running a Calibre-Library on multiple Clients for one Person or for Sharing it over a cloud-service for 2 or 3 Users.
The bigger problem is if you add many ebooks and Change then the metadata - if the DropBox-Process is just sync the Folder with this ebook you get an error (but you can try again). So when i do big changes i stop the DropBox Sync (but the other can't start because the Lock file is there).
