If you are running calibre on a library, there is a very good chance that it will be modifying the database.
As for asking on the site about running calibre with a library stored on DropBox? I'm sorry but my experience with the posts I read since I started on MobileRead is that using any type of network attached storage for a calibre library makes it a matter of when not if your library will be corrupted which makes hard to see how anyone in the possession of a moiety of their mind would have told you that doing so is okay. Run calibre with your library on local storage. Use a one-way sync to copy your library to a cloud storage. That I've seen recommended. Your suggestion about running calibre with the library stored in the cloud? That I have never seen recommended. Did you even read the information at the two links I posted? Quote:

I've never seen it claimed it's OK to use Calibre with remote files. It never would have been safe, ever. |

Just to make clear.
There are folk who run the CONTENT SERVER on a NAS. (not officially supported) This is not the same as running Calibre on the desktop and the Library on shared media. THAT is an entire Calibre install, not just the Library files. Everything (calibre) is on the same system. The Library is local to the Server using them. |

I added bold. So it's not accessing Calibre files or database on a NAS at all. It's using the content server on a Calibre that's got private local files. So if your "NAS" is running a standard sort of Linux such that this works on it (either via remote or local screen) https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux Run this in a console on it: Code:
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin Then it's "supported". I've had a slideshow and mp3 playlist on my server for a while with the 2nd HDMI port plugged into a DVB-T HD modulator feeding the home TV distribution. I used a big USB memory stick for the files so as to not wear out the head actuators on the HDDs. |
