Maybe you had troubles before and just didn't notice them, maybe not -- either way, it's dangerous.
It shouldn't be a problem to keep your library in Dropbox, just do what I and many other people have learned to do -- pause Dropbox while you use calibre.
You can also get fancy, and setup rotating incremental snapshots of your data, and copy that into Dropbox -- if you feel comfortable doing that.
There are different levels to keeping data safe and backed up. |
Thank you for the advice. I think I'll stick with pausing dropbox while using calibre. Getting fancy seems kind of complicated.
