If you've got Calibre set up to store your book files on Dropbox or OneDrive, then you'll be able to access the book files on Dropbox/OneDrive by just using a file explorer to navigate through the folders to find the book you want, then clicking on it to open using the book reader program of your choice. Apps such as Freda can make this a bit smoother, because they have built-in connectivity to Dropbox and OneDrive.
But Freda does not know how to read the Calibre database file, so it would not be able to find books by title, author etc. - you would need to poke around the folder structure yourself, to find the book you wanted.
The Freda 'TO DO' list for future development does include enhancing it be able to read the Calibre database; it is an SQLite database so this is possible in principle using the .Net programming environment (though with the latest version, Oreo, of Android I think it may pose some challenges). If there is a lot of demand for the feature, I will push it up the 'TO DO' list :-)
