The issue for most of the posters is the use of a cloud or other network attached storage to store their calibre libraries. Keep your backups in the cloud? Sure though I personally keep local backups as well. Run your calibre library from network storage? This is considered A BAD IDEA. See
SQLite Over a Network, Caveats and Considerations for SQLite's take on doing so. Since calibre uses SQLite as it's database solution, the same issues apply. Until SQLite releases a free network storage compatible version, this is unlikely to change. If you think why not change to a different DB supplier? The choices there are rather expensive for Kovid to eat the cost and even so, as most database administrators would tell you, you need to have good backups.
