Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I do because my library is on Dropbox, not on the harddrive. It's never caused a problem before. And I save my library on other cloud storage services using the calibre function "save under..." (or something like that). I wasn't aware that running cloud services with calibre could cause troubles. Maybe I should just copy my library on my harddrive and use the cloud storage services just to save my library...
