Before the new backend Dropbox updated metadata.db after every change. I speculated it might be different since the new backend.

But I just checked and Dropbox syncs the metadata.db file immediately after a change. I removed 3 books and went to Dropbox and the metadata.db file had been updated on the site.

I went to calibre cloud and searched and it showed the deleted books. I refresh and reloaded (because I'm impatient and don't know the difference between the two on this app) and 2 minutes later redid my search and the books I deleted from calibre were gone. I did not have to restart calibre.

So I can't replicatre the OPs issue.

I am currently using:

Dropbox 2.6.2
Calibre 1.21
Calibre Cloud App 1.3.0
Dropbox App 2.3.12.10

I still prefer Calibre companion, but calibre cloud has a faster seach.
