of course there is.

i set up Free file sync ( or a ultility of choice) to mirror library into dropbox on my C drive, e.g. i say
source is C:\library, target is C:\dropbox\library.
mirror source to target.

then dropbox.exe background syncs that local dropbox folder to cloud. Been doing it for years, no problems., others here do the same.

purists will suggest pause, unpause calibre, dropbox... at various points, I never bother. I am the only user so I know when calibre is idle. I know to let dropbox icon show fully synced before I try accessing the cloud copy.
