I always thought that in principle a cloud synching service in general would be smart enough to detect whether files are used, or a directory is being worked in, and thus refrain from interfering.

Perhaps I overestimated the capabilities of the software.

Just to be sure. Google Drive is specifically mentioned as being incompatible, but the same goes for Microft's Skydrive?
GDrive uses the number in parentheses at the end of book folders for version control, and thus is incompatible with calibre. No other syncing program does that. SkyDrive is perfectly safe, just don't try opening it in two programs at once. SkyDrive is a program opening the file(s).
