Best Cloud service for calibre

What's the best Cloud service to use with calibre?

I have 200-300 books that I would like to place in a cloud service, to make them able to edit in from devices other than my pc.

What would you recommend?

First I would recommend a reliable and fast connection to your Cloud.
2nd choose a cloud provider which has sufficient tools which are able to support your (unnamed) primary work system.

@Tanjamuse - if you are just going to keep some ebook files there then any of the mainstream services should be OK. You'll need to careful about accessing and editing the same book from two devices concurrently otherwise you could lose edits.

But if its a calibre library you need to be even more careful - avoid Google Drive and don't access the same library from two devices concurrently.

If different people will be doing the editing then you'll need a business process that ensures people don't overwrite on one another's edits.

I can't remember where I read this before, but it's probably best to remember to pause syncing during the edit process and enable it when you're ready
