You understand exactly. As you change files they are synced. I've been using calibre with Dropbox for 4 years and have never had any files lock the way you described. Although I have had files lock like that before (not in dropbox). It is best with the cloud software to pause syncing while actively working on your library.

You understand fine, although it may have been OneDrive that locked up your files. Even if OneDrive wasn't running the file could have still been locked up by the process. Stuff happens, that is why that tool that allowed you to delete them exists.
