The library has to be on your computer hard drive in order to sync with DropBox (you can shut off the DropBox software & the files will still be there locally). DropBox contains a copy of whatever you have set to sync with it, usually what's in the computers local DropBox folder. In other words Calibre makes changes to your library that's stored on your hard drive and then it's sync'd to DropBox. The possible exception being backups made using the Save To Disk function you mention. Best practice is to pause the DropBox software then open Calibre and do whatever you're wanting to do (add books, edit meta data, etc.) then close Calibre and unpause BropBox so it can sync any changes you made.
