I want to synchonize more than two Calibre directories with more than 10 directories

I tried to synchronize my different Calibre with each of about 10GB files. Copying one into another produce sometimes Chaos and most books in file do not appear in Calbre.
Now I bought 1 TB in Dropbox and will try that in all Pcs Laptops etc.

But really I am missing the option to compare one with another. Also it looks like that its becomes worse, if you have open calibre potable at the same time

Basic Calibre operation theory: There can only be ONE 'Master' Library
(if you peek beneath the skirts, you will see the title name has a number in paren eg The Book(42). That links to the recordid in the DB. These belong ONLY to the pair in that Library. The same book, may get a different record id in another Library.

A 'Master" is the ONLY one that gets any changes:
Changes include: Metadata, adding/removing formats, EDITS

Different OS use different file timestamps, so TS resolution is out.
Different OS are CasE sensitive, so that tosses sand in the gears

I think you need to just use the Content server, Keeping ONE PC as the Host / Master. Do note that Kovid has added the ability of the Content server to manage some Library metadata.And it has user permission levels.
