I understand there is a way to sync books via Dropbox but my Dropbox account is only 2 gb whereas Syncplicity gave me 10gb...

I suppose another option is to only sync the 7-8 subfolders of my Calibre library folder, but the problem there is that I would have to create a new Calibre library on my laptop and then move the synced e-books into it.... whereas I would rather prefer a more automatic process that the laptop Calibre automatically understands and accepts that the new books are to be added to its library. I can accept a one-way syncing solution if need be... in retrospect, I think one-way syncing is the default solution unless I tell the laptop calibre to add the destination folder to be synced.
