Thanks for posting BetterRed. Unfortunately I don't understand most of what you said.

I wanted my Calibre library in Dropbox specifically so it could be accessed and updated using whatever pc I happened to have turned on. I've moved to a Mac as my W7 pc has flaky USB ports and is running slow/hot, and while the Mac is good i I do tend to use Hubbys pc most as I rarely use my Mac during the week. I don't know what a networked drive is really, I certainly don't have one, all our pics are independent they just all access the same Dropbox folder.

I did a search of my Calibre folder and it threw up nearly 1400 conflicted opf files going back to July last year. I deleted them all and, touch wood, calibre seems fine. I'm taking a back up now. I'll keep an eye on it. If it becomes a big issue I'll have to move calibre to my Mac and just keep a back up in Dropbox.
