I currently just use Dropbox for my books and point Calibre there, but its really just a back-up, so this sounds like it might be a "safer" way of maintaining my Calibre library as well as making the most of my limited dropbox space by limiting it to one format.
How exactly would you go about doing this? Sorry, my mind seems to go to mush when it comes to cloud storage and syncing! Would I just copy my Calibre library back to my HDD, point Calibre to it and then use something like FreeFileSync to do a one-way sync to dropbox?
