Code:
taskkill  /F /IM dropbox.exe /T
which killed dropbox. After calibre was close, the file ran dropbox.exe.
Thanks, but I wouldn't even know what to do with that piece of code.

In any case, I have disabled the folder synching software and I will do the backups manually periodically.

But what bugs me is that I had been using Calibre with my library in a native folder in Box Sync for years without issues and I don't understand how come all of a sudden this is a problem.

Thank you all for the feedback and suggestions.
