No, you do not need to install calibre into dropbox. And you probably don't want to.

You can tell calibre to use a calibre library stored inside dropbox (I do), but there are gotchas. There are many threads in the calibre forum discussing this option. I strongly suggest that you don't do something like this until you understand what those gotchas are and how to avoid them.

or is that not possible?
it is possible if you use calibre portable instead of calibre. That said, don't go there right now. Don't make any extra changes until you are sure that you understand what is happening and how things work.
