One item to be aware of is that calibre and network storage are not a good combination. I would recommend that you move your database to local storage before you run into issues. See I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS? in the calibre FAQs.

For the most part, if you are working on a local copy that is synchronized to the network and if you pause synchronization anytime you are using calibre, you can get away with this. If you mix live synchronization and calibre, the question is not if something will break but when it will break.
