The safest procedure going by many posts in these forums:
  1. Keep your library in local storage syncing to the cloud
  2. Stop syncing your calibre library
  3. Open calibre, make your changes and close calibre
  4. Restart syncing your library.
I would not do it that way. There is no way I would let some cloud software touch my working library. The safest way to do syncing to the cloud is to use FreeFileSync and sync your working library to the cloud directory so you don't have always copy the entire library.
