I believe some people install calibre portable along with their library onto their 'Dropbox Drive' - then wherever they are they can access the same library with the same calibre (version, settings, plug-ins etc)

From memory DoctorOhh a long time user of calibre and one of the 'senior' moderators of the calibre forum does this - I'm sure he wont mind if you send a PM and get him to chime in.

I have tried it, but my alternate location is on the end of a slow and unreliable satellite link, so whilst it worked, it wasn't viable at 256Kbs, and there's a traffic quota on the sat link. Worked fine on higher speed links (10Mps+) though.

Also avoids the issue of leaving computers turned on - Dropbox is more or less always on.
