I've never had trouble with either OneDrive or Google Drive/Backup and Sync.

On a related note, I used to get a sync "error" for metadata.db when Calibre was open (file in use) whereas with v5 it is continually re-uploading with each edit to the catalog - highlights/annotations, etc... It is only a problem with the database, because the epub book "re-uploads" but does so instantly (presumably recognizing that the only actual change is only with the book's small metadata.opf file).

Any ideas on how to stop this? I was using my mobile data plan today and it just blew through a lot of data, purely from annotations causing continual uploading of the database. But even when I'm on a dedicated connection, I'd prefer for it to just sync when I close Calibre, as it did before.
