The real killer for me about CC is the need to have the Windows box up. If we go traveling for 2 weeks we really don't want to leave the box awake all that time. Even when we are here, a lot of reading happens in the evening when her box is asleep. The only computer here that does not go to sleep is the Linux mail server ... although I am exploring how to make that go away and I don't know how we would maintain it there.
Is there a file sharing service which provides better control over access ... I'm not expecting it to suddenly be multi-user, but that would do something like lock the file automatically while Calibre was open or something that would make this more transparent.
I suppose that I am still unclear why, given that there is a copy on my disk where all the usual file controls should be available with Dropbox syncing in the background and no other users why it should lose data.
