I'll side with the OP on this.

Dropbox is perfectly safe. As long as you pause Dropbox while calibre is running.

Additionally, make sure to sync Dropbox before and after running calibre, to make sure Dropbox won't get confused when two computers try to update the same file -- this assumes you run calibre with the Dropboxed library on two computers.
