OneDrive plus Calibre = cloud library (FREE)
UPDATE: do NOT use Google Drive for your Calibre library. It does not work.
It is possible to put your Calibre library into the Cloud by using a cloud service which offers a desktop client for synchronizing local files with the cloud storage. If you do this, Calibre works fine, because it is simply using a local file. Calibre does not care that those local files are also uploaded to a cloud location. Win-win.
OneDrive is available from from Microsoft at https://onedrive.live.com?invref=a3dcf86de7915256&invscr=90.
The following storage options are available from OneDrive as of May 2017.
5GB – Free for any new user of the service.
1TB (1000 GB) – Free with Office365 subscription
Additional storage upgrades are available.
Other cloud services which I suspect will work, but I have not personally tested with Calibre. Proceed with caution and test with a sample library before you commit your entire library.
***DO NOT use Google Drive for your Calibre library. It does not work.***
