If you download a book into CC's library folder using some other program then the book is not in CC's library. Assuming that the "Scan for new books" option is set, CC will add such books to its library when you connect as a wireless device. In that case the method I suggested is appropriate because you are connected as a wireless device.

If you are fetching books from multiple calibre libraries then it is up to you to manage copying books between the libraries. CC doesn't provide any special help.

One thought: you could upload the books to a "calibre auto-add" folder on the computer running calibre. Next time you run calibre on that computer the books will be added to the library.
I place a copy of all books that I've grabbed from online sources when on a tablet into a 'Books for Calibre' folder in my Google Drive account. I then add all books from the folder to my Calibre library the next time I'm on my computer (I've not bothered with the auto-add function)

Simple, straightforward and ensures that I don't forget any books.
