The only way I would recommend cloud storage would be to use FreeFileSync to make a copy of the library to be synced to the cloud. So the cloud storage never ever touches the working library.

But yes, I do know what I am doing. I never run Calibre more then once at a time. I make sure that after the laptop reboots that it's connected correctly. After that, it works.

The reason I started doing this is because it's not easy to have an external hard drive on a laptop when the laptop is on your lap.
