You would not break the link in this situation, because there is one copy of the file with the latest timestamp and another backup copy with the pcname suffix, so you have the decision to use this one.
I have never had a problem with any epub file (but of course this can happen) but i do frequently get multiple copies of files in the config library. This is when I start a pc and go into calibre quickly before ondrive had a chance to do its thing.
I get standard settings and all the same plugins and libraries wherever I am so I can also plug in my kobo and go, for example. If i update the kobo utils plugin it's updated everywhere, my laptop, my desktops in uk and germany, etc.
Obviously it equires a very small modicum of care but honestly it works so well and easy I dontknow why several people just seem to like to criticise

The word is WARN not criticize.
The DB stores the path
eg
Code:
"C:\Users\ME\MainLib\Alex P. Berg\Red Hot Steele (13011)\Red Hot Steele - Alex P. Berg.azw3"
The colored part is what Google Drive confuses because Calibre uses that as an INDEX
if any part of that changes (OUTSIDE OF CALIBRE), the linkage is broken
If the second PC has a different path to the cloud, the DB now has the wrong path for any other PC
Shadow a Library is fine.
Accessing directly is FRAGILE or Can make it BROKEN
We don't make recommendations that cause either .
