Just be careful to sync Dropbox both before and after, making sure all changes are recorded in Dropbox and the current computer is up-to-date. The most common problem with Dropbox is syncing while calibre moves files, as they fight over which file goes where. The second problem is opening calibre on another computer before it was synced, then Dropbox sees differing changes from two computers and renames a ton of files to "file (computer's conflicted copy date.fileextension" which will be a pain in the neck to deal with. Especially because the most obvious file to be renamed and replaced with an older copy, will be the database.
