aha! I will pursue with Dropbox people but can you tell me: assuming I NEVER access Calibre (or that folder) from more than one location at one time, why is it a bad idea to have the Calibre database folder on a Dropbox location? I am the only one who uses this folder. I have it on Dropbox so that I can access books from an Apple machine at work and an Apple machine at home. Therefore there's no potential for simultaneous editing of the folder (I can only run Calibre from one of those locations at a time). Can someone explain why this is problematic, and is there a better way to be able to access the library from 2 different machines?
