The calibre configuration folder is by default in your user folder, AppData\Roaming\calibre IIRC.

Move that folder to wherever you want it, then tell calibre where it is using the environment variable.
First, if you do what I discuss below then you *MUST* ensure that only one instance of calibre is open at a time.
That's the best advice! The Config folder happened to be much smaller (like 795KB). I'll sync the folder between my machines.

I don't have a Drop Box, just a Google Drive, so I will keep both libraries and config folders locally synchronized. Of course it is a bit of work, but I don't update my library that often. My major concern was how to keep the library synced between the PCs. Thanks to your advice, now I know how to do it!
