If you are careful, as the OP has indicated, one-way sync is not needed to prevent Dropbox/calibre editing conflicts. The most likely source of failure. Although extra safeguards are always good.
For the record, I have used calibre a long time without doing a one-way sync and never once had problems.

But, I've never before read of anyone having eBooks vanish from a Calibre library just like that. The only thing different that I can tell given the OP's information is the use of a sync directory. Careful or not, something isn't working properly. So move out of the sync directory and see if books get lost just like that or the problem is solved. It's just easy to use FreeFileSync to make a copy in the sync directory. The only way to try to solve the problem is to try ifferent things and the first thing to try is no working library in a sync directory.
