(I have also learned here that the a. m. data corruption was more often than not user-induced: running calibre AND synching to a cloud at the same time. I hope I got it right.)
That's correct. Calibre is not "multi-user-friendly". Bad Things can happen if you do something to a Calibre library that's on a Cloud drive at the same time that the Cloud itself is doing something. Syncing your library to a Cloud drive is fine (Google Drive excepted, apparently ). Running FROM a Cloud drive is not.
