if I understood correctly what you need is just something that updates a
table whenever a new file pops up into your dropbox folder (that receives
yet the files).
Just schedule something that lists all contents of a directory and update
your table accordingly, let's say every minute.
Scheduler can fit the bill, cause you'll be sure to have just one running
process that takes care of it.
If you want a more refined solution ubuntu has filesystem notifications, so
hooking up with something like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/watchdog
wouldn't be difficult.
