Thanks Sirtel, but the library folder I selected was correct. When following your steps I got the ERROR: Same as current library.

And Chaley, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It seems I have 3 metadata.db files in my library, from which 2 are conflicted copies. But that's because I'm also running calibre on a different computer I rarely use.

It seems to me, that when I selected my library after opening Calibre for the first time after the reinstall, a new and empty metadata.db was created somehow. Maybe overwriting the file that was on my dropbox.

My fix was to select "restore database" in "library maintenance", which sort of works like a sync feature that I hadn't found yet. So thanks for pointing me in right direction.

Best,
Rogier
