If you go ahead with using a shared drive just make sure you have a fallback strategy should it go belly up.
If your libraries were on a 64GB thumb, you could sync them from your laptop to a shared drive on the desktop, and from there to Dropbox. That should work fine and it would avoid the 'calibre on a network' issues.
BTW On April 11 2017 extended support for Windows Vista comes to an end. That means no more security updates.

Okay thank you so much. Vista support may come to an end but I'm not going to throw my computer out because of it. I'd have to let hubby use my laptop.
