Opening in Calibre Editor Prompts Long Dropbox Upload
I keep my Calibre library in a Dropbox folder on my PC. Lately, I've noticed that whenever I open a book in the editor, Dropbox sync will re-upload the file as though it got changed. This upload takes a long time, like, five or ten minutes, and attempting to save my changes in Calibre will fail until the upload is done. My internet connection is otherwise normal.
Has anybody seen this behavior lately? Is it an issue with Calibre or with Dropbox? |

I mean, I've used Calibre this way for years without issue, so I'm wondering what changed.

Calibre can update the metadata in the book when it is opened. That should trigger the sync. It is an option, so maybe it was turned on recently. Or something reset the option. The option is in the preferences within the editor.

Hm, it looks like the issue was caused by the beta version of Dropbox, anyway, so rolling back to stable cleared it up.
