Hello

my library is on dropbox, not the harddrive of my computer. This morning it worked fine but this evening, when I start calibre version 2.21, it needs to restore the database (er, I have calibre in French so I hope I have the right words) because it is corrupted. I tired it 3 times but then it fails and here is the error message I get:

"calibre, version 2.21.0
ERREUR : Échec: La restauration de la base de données a échoué, cliquer sur Afficher les détails pour en apprendre davantage

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 125, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 277, in replace_db
WindowsError: [Error 32] Le processus ne peut pas acc�der au fichier car ce fichier est utilis� par un autre processus"

Windows error roughly translates as "the process can't access the file for this file is used by another processus".

What shoud I do? Move my library to another place? Or delete one file in my library folder?

Thanks for your help!
