I've seen too many issues with people trying to use calibre on a networked drive whether it be a local NAS, cloud storage or mapped drive from another local computer, to feel safe using that configuration. It's not a question of if it will break, rather the question is when it will break.
Yes, even if a Windows share and a drive letter, which ONLY applies to Windows, though almost all other OSes can mount a Windows share as a sub-directory. Windows too can mount objects in a subdirectory instead of using up drive letters, which is better as local device drive letters can change!

I've seen issues also with MS Office using Windows Shares on Windows.
