Dropbox or any other connection that can write (or block a calibre write) to the Library folder.

Write behind (delayed) caching is another culprit.

Antivirus scans can block a change. Exclude the Library folder from a 'realtime' scan.

IMHO another problem with using 'the cloud' : Everything in my library has been scanned BEFORE it arrived. With the cloud, it seems possible to inject a contaminated copy if real time scanning has been excluded for structure integrity purposes . (like preventing your problem?)

4+ years running Calibre. Every book loss case has been identified to: ME Something (stupid) I did.
