I hear that Dropbox does not do things this way, but have yet to test.)
I have completed step 1 that BetterRed suggests (use Library Maintenance->Restore database - it will build a fresh metadata.db from the metadata.opf files in the book folders). It has resulted in some 'errors', but looking closely at them they are all the same error, just with many different books.
I've copied the 'list' to clipboard and saved it, and I figure I'll have to go through the multitude of books one by one, but do I have to? And at what point should I move to Step 2 that BetterRed suggests?

@
Naloomi - can you confirm that those errors are coming from the "Restore database" task.
And how many is a 'multitude' - are you saying that it was OK up to 6271.
That error is 'unusual' as its the sort of thing that theoretically can't happen, I advise to wait for Kovid to respond - you could him a give him a nudge via a PM referring him to your thread.
