That way, the Dropbox software will NEVER touch the working library. On Windows, I highly recommend FreeFileSync to do the local syncing.
I do similar using Free File Sync (one way) to an older PC that has a Sync to my NAS. Takes about a minute of Calibre down time (shut Calibre down when syncing) to do that sync. The NAS part is slower, but Calibre is back up while that happens.
