Just o be clear: That metadata.db is NOT the (has date before your new library) one being used by your current Library

Everything makes up the set; You can't mix pieces.

Why not create a new empty folder on your PC. (the folder name will be for the New Library)
Then just copy the entire dropbox folder that contains that Metadata.db to that folder. Then start Calibre. Create/Switch: use existing:<the new folder>

If success, keep it
If just as bad delete the new one
