Thanks for the reply. I will follow the suggestions above and change my setup. Although, my Calibre library IS locally stored on a drive in my PC. It's just that the folder it is in belongs to the Box Sync folder. But I guess it does function differently to a "normal" internal folder, as I tried logging off Box today to see if that changed the behaviour of Calibre (as suggested by Kovid Goyal above) and what happened was that when I re-launched Calibre, it opened up with an empty library. So I guess that Box folder isn't a normal folder.
Again, thank you all for the suggestions and I will change de setup as suggested.

You found when.

Calibre is a Hybrid of a DB and a file system. The MUST remain in lock step. That is only possible on a Local (attached to the PC) disc
