Now I bought 1 TB in Dropbox and will try that in all Pcs Laptops etc.
But really I am missing the option to compare one with another. Also it looks like that its becomes worse, if you have open calibre potable at the same time

Copying one calibre library on top of another is
NOT a supported option nor is it
A Good Idea. If you look at the directory names in a calibre library, you will see a number in brackets after the book title (i.e. Wind in the Willows (3450) ) where the number is the recordID in the calibre database. Having different books with the same recordID is a good way to garbage your ebook collection. If you want access to your library from multiple machines, try using the Calibre Content Server.
To combine two libraries, have both libraries attached to a single calibre instance and use calibre to copy the contents of one library to the other. Slower than just mashing the two libraries together but the results will be usable.
