Currently there's no way to fetch real time filesystem modifications inside webapps, both on FileLists or DirEntries. I propose to add filesystem monitoring events to the DirEntries objects, so when a file or directory is added, removed or modified a corresponding event would buble on the filesystem hierarchy up to the DirEntry object where an event listener is registered to catch it, so the webapp would act in correspondance (hashing the files, uploading them...). This would also be applied to the FileSystem API and the DeviceStorage API (so for example files dropped on that folder would be uploaded and later removed, in a mail box or printer queue style) and up to some degree on FileList objects, too.
