If you browse through this forum, you can find several threads on issues with using cloud storage for a live calibre library. Another one of those not recommended items where it may work for quite a while and then $#@%^ time.

This solution will work if one only wants to
read on other devices. But if one wants to
edit one's library on another device (say, a Windows tablet), then the only solution will be to keep a live library in the cloud.
There's no good option for such use cases to this day. Keeping your library on a network drive is no better than a cloud solution. The content server might allow metadata editing in the future, but it still won't allow to edit the books themselves, or so I have understood. And it probably won't allow to use the calibre plugins in editing metadata (like "count pages" or "generate cover")
