Google destroyed my back up library. The books were all still there, but I lost all the metadata. I do not use the cloud library as my main library, I just copy the files to it in Calibre. I have had to restore my library from my Copy backup before. So I really like having it. I'm trying out Amazon, but I don't think it will work because I had to upload the file, rather than sync it. I guess I will see once it finishes uploading.
I don't have any family nearby and I mostly work from home, so I don't have an office at which to store a backup. Has anyone tried storing in a safe deposit box? I realize I will be limited to accessing it only during business hours. But at least my old tax return stuff would be safe there - stuff I would never store on a cloud storage.

I use OneDrive (Microsoft's cloud solution). It works almost the same as DropBox. It has clients for Windows (mobile and desktop), Android and Ios.
I have my library synced across three devices (two tablets and a PC) and never had a problem. I've been known to open the same library on multiple devices at the same time and the only thing that happens then is that the machine that closes the database last makes a new .db file and I'll have to figure out which one I want to keep (but that's entirely my own fault!)
