I have my library on my PC, automatic sync (except when I'm working with it) with OneDrive and manual sync on my tablet.
Personally, I don't run my "live" Calibre in Dropbox.

I just run a FreeFileSync job (with versioning) to copy the library and settings to Dropbox. The batch file is also scheduled to run nightly just in case I forget to manually sync.

One of these days, I'll set up a RealTimeSync job to monitor the library folder and automatically sync it to Dropbox after, say, 10 minutes idle. For now, manual or nightly sync is better since I'm in the process of restructuring the library and I don't want to have too many automatically created versions.

Obviously though, library uses more storage with the way I do it (fine with me since Dropbox is my offsite backup).
