Then the book is available on the Kobo without having risked corrupting the database. Unfortunately, not all Kobo's have the Dropbox option, though apparently it can be added fairly easily by installing NickelMenu and putting in a config file. For some reason, when Calibre makes a file for Kobo, it ends in .kePub. The extension .epub has to be added after .kepub.

I would suggest using calibre's save to disk to ensure that metadata is embedded and then use kepubify to convert epub to kepub with the dual extension (I use a batch file to do this). Copy the kepubs to Dropbox and delete the contents of the folder where you did the save to disk. Unless you are using Polish or Modify ePub or similar tool that embeds metadata, the epub file you are copying to Dropbox will not carry any metadata or cover image with it.
