That is rather extreme advice. I have used Dropbox for my production library for years without a single problem. It is sufficient to never write the library from two machines without an intervening sync.

EDIT: It is also a good idea to turn off Dropbox syncing while using calibre in order to prevent file-open collisions. I don't do this but then I seldom change authors or titles, the operations that trigger copying and renaming inside the calibre library.
