You do not need to save in calibre, but you can with calibredb.
but you may need to get something to replace the watch on the Dropbox folder that the calibre GUI provides via its Autoadd feature.

I don't think there's an anything in calibre's cli program set to do that. A search for something like "watch for file system changes on XXXXXX", where XXXXXX is your OS should find something suitable. Such things can typically detect an event (eg an epub was added to a folder) and run a user provided script.
