For example, I sometimes want to access a book when I am not at home and don't have access to my home network.

I can get it from Dropbox, but because of the naming issue, I need to use an intermediate step:
To access the books from my server, therefore, I have Calibre create a catalog periodically, with both the full names and the paths and upload the catalogue to my server. Since the library itself is in a Dropbox folder, I can access a book file by finding the book in the Catalogue and then using the indicated path to get the file from Dropbox.

All of this works fine for my purposes. Save to Disk would be worthless for this particular problem.

I assume others have other reasons for using Calibre differently that you do.
Extremely cumbersome - take an app like Calibre Sync, connect to Dropbox and all your problems are gone.
