If you operate that way--as I have for many years--a copy of your library always exists in the cloud and is always current.


YMMV
It works as long as you use that library strictly on one device only. As soon as you start to make changes to your library on more than one device and sync the changes back and forth, database corruption will follow. Because people tend to forget that "one device" part, IMO it's better not to advise them to keep their active library in Dropbox.
