Refresh your gallery webpage via Dropbox?
I would like to know if the following situations and scenarios are possible:
I'm looking for a webpage with a photo gallery (Javascript) that will display in the order it was last added to the Dropbox folder (PHP or Python?).
That is, when someone adds a picture to the Dropbox folder, there is a script on the web page that will check the Dropbox folder and then insert those images into the web page with the newest added, and the web page will automatically refresh.
Is it possible to link myself to a Dropbox folder via a webpage? If so, what is the best way for me to use scripts to automate the process of refreshing a web page with new content?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

If you can install the DropBox client on a web server then it would be simple to let it sync your folder and then loop over the contents of the programming language folder (PHP, Python, .NET, etc.) and create a gallery of pages. This can be done every time a page is requested, or as a scheduled job that overwrites the static page. It all depends on whether you have access to install the client on your server.

You can use the (alpha) autodrop tool , just that: a simple gallery interface that uses images in Dropbox.
As said: alpha. I am still developing it by rewriting it and making it a little prettier and prettier. Written in Ruby using the Dropbox, sinatra and HAML gems. Thus, you will need a host that supports Ruby applications.
