I've roamed all over calibre's threads and I cannot find a conclusive answer to this. I am not technically savvy and the slightest use of a technical term makes me easily confused. I have read somewhere on calibre's main page in the FAQ section that one should "not put your calibre library on a networked drive." This really had me worried on moving the main Calibre Library (the one sitting in the user name location). I apologize I advance if this is comes across as a dumb question but can I store Calibre library in iCloud Drive or Dropbox instead of sitting in my mac's local drive?
