You might be able to install dropbox onto a network attached Raspberry Pi and plug in an external hard drive to the Pi. For external hard drives you might need a powered usb hub if the EHD requires power [the Pi won't have enough juice to power it, unless you boost its usb output current from about mA to 1.

It could be as easy as putting the command you wish executed in a registry value and Dropbox patrolling it and executing it then emptying the value. Note: You must install the Dropbox desktop application to use selective sync. Smart Sync also helps you save space on your hard drive.
