If i ever restore the whole library in the future will i need the opf file ?
Not sure if I'd recommend Mega for Calibre library backups. Aren't they more like MediaFire or something?

I think the service is more suited for exports via Save to disk (with updated metadata and cover already embedded inside the EPUB) than a Calibre library mirror.
