I would recommend that you move your library back to your computer and keep a copy of it in the cloud. See the link in @BetterRed's message that I quoted above. If you want to keep a copy of your library in the cloud, there are many tools that you can use to keep the cloud copy synchronized with the local copy but make sure it is a one way sync from your computer to the cloud.

Basically, if you put your library on a network drive, it's not a question of if your library will get corrupted but when it will get corrupted.

For what you are doing, Save to disk would be a better choice since you can use a template to control folders, file names, etc.
