Just so we are clear, are you talking about a Dropbox directory on the device, or one in the cloud?

We are talking about two things:
1) Give CC the ability to import a book from a calibre folder on the device, where "calibre folder" means a folder containing metadata.opf, cover.jpg, and at least one format file. The choice of format will be made by applying the order specified in CC's format/folder settings. We don't care how that folder got onto the device. One option is certainly downloading such folders from Dropbox or any other cloud storage offering.
2) A separate app that will fetch "calibre folders" from the cloud. The "cloud" will include Dropbox and perhaps others like Amazon whatever. This app will be able to ask CC to do the import then delete the folder. It is not clear when we would release this app.
We have discussed importing bare epubs. That option makes me very nervous for reasons that have been given in other posts.

Sorry for the confusion. I have been on 17 hours of flights in the last 36 hours and am a little groggy.

Been there, done that. I am not fun to be around after that sort of travel.
