Thanks, Daffy. That is exactly what I want to do. I got the library on the second computer. My first computer is already set up with Dropbox, I just have to get the second set up. I don't really use the desktop for books and music - just Quicken and Turbotax (got to get to that!) Of course, with 500GB, it is cheap backup. I wonder how long it would take to download my entire Calibre library off the clouds? Or maybe I should first transfer as much as I can, as I did with this computer?
