calibre uses sqlite and it doesn't support hosting the db on a network drive. https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq.html#i-am-getting-errors-with-my-calibre-lib

  You can certainly host it on a network drive if the network filesystem has the right features and behaviour. The same goes for a local filesystem. Sqlite has certain features it requires the filesystem to have. That is independent of how that filesystem stores the data physically.

      SQLite actually works just fine on Windows files shares (and yes with multiple clients since Windows file shares do support file locks) but I wouldn’t recommend it as a remote DB/multi client solution.
