Using Dropbox to backup your library is fine but you shouldn't run calibre from within Dropbox.
Also there is the horrifying security loophole which I posted about in CC forum
any app that you allow to access dropbox. e.g. moon reader to sync last page read- is awarded full read/write acesss to the entire dropbox.
With the moon+ built-in file explorer, anyone on a lost /stolen device can see all folders and examine all the dropbox content - you may not care about open access to your books - I don't- but to all of dropbox ?
