You can do this yourself, without needing the cloud, using a peer-to-peer sync client. "Syncthing" is a respected example of this type of software. It's free - or at least there is a free version available, maybe they have paid versions as well. There is no central server with Syncthing. Or you can set up your own self-hosted cloud if you're a security, privacy, and control person like I am. I use Nextcloud for this.

I would be hesitant to use syncing with any of these products while Calibre is running however. "Hesitant" is not the best way to say it, ... "I wouldn't do it, period" is a better way of stating things. If you implement a method to shut down Calibre on all servers, and then do the syncing, restarting Calibre afterwards - that would work just fine.
