Terrible advice. The Calibre files are part of Calibre and using them with NAS, Sharing, or Google/Amazon/Apple/Dropbox online storage is asking for trouble.
Use "Save to Disc" right click on a book or range of selected books, that's what it's for.

40 years of programming & OS, 30 years network use and 25 years of databases.

Otherwise there is little point in using Calibre except to convert files.
