I use OneDrive, and find that it works fine, with the following caveats:

I make sure that it is not running when I am in Calibre. This is just a best practice I've seen mentioned by those more knowledgable than I.
If you use the Full Text plugin and have a large library, be prepared for frequent large uploads to the cloud. I haven't gotten around to asking here if there's somewhere else I can put it rather than in the library itself (default, I guess), but I have 10+ GB uploads at least every week. This is irritating, and I should check in with the plugin developer--just time has gotten in the way.
Also, I make sure that the book is "always available" on my hard drive rather than "on the cloud."

And it goes w/o saying that making frequent backups of your library to a local external HD or the like is a really, really good idea.
