(The reason I'm asking is that I lost my main computer's Calibre instance and worry that my USB drive might mess up as well. By having it out in the cloud like that, it wouldn't be lost nearly as easily.)

(EDIT: I just realized that the Dropbox drive probably isn't formatted as an EXT4 drive. That means it may not work right...)
You might want to check the calibre FAQs for I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS?. The only question with having your library on a networked/cloud/etc. drive, is when not if, your library will be corrupted.
