Incidentally my Box library is synced to a Mega cloud library and then MegaSync downloads it to my tablet, so I'm happy that I'm well backed up. I use Calibre Sync to access the Mega Library and used to use Calibre Companion to look at the Box Library.

If I had a nickel for every post in the last year that started with the equivalents of "I've been using <cloud storage of your choice> for years without problems" and ends with "now my library is inaccessible/corrupt/whatever", I'd be able to afford a venti hot chocolate at the local Starbucks.

calibre uses an SQLite database and the creators of that code do not recommend using SQLite on a network. See
SQLite Over a Network, Caveats and Considerations for more information.
Another quote on using SQLite over a network is:

SQLite is primarily designed as a lightweight, serverless, embedded database that stores data in a single local file, not for direct access over a network by multiple clients. Direct use over a network file system is strongly discouraged due to latency and unreliable file-locking mechanisms in many network file systems, which can lead to database corruption.
