Hmm, maybe davidfor and NiLuJe can get together and spawn a little daemon that runs on the Forma, doing the db-magic adding series and collection info? (And if needed, the "save-ebook-to-dropbox"-plugin could add the necessary, if any, series & collection info in a new only-for-the-daemon file?)
Sorry, I don't use dropbox, so I'm not really interested in doing something here. You can get close by converting in calibre and either using save-to-disk to put the book on the Dropbox folder, or using the "Connect to folder" driver to treat the folder as a device. You would have to rename the books after you put them there, but, unless you are putting hundreds of books there, that isn't much work.
