Once you make sure that Folder Actions are enabled, just control-click the
Drop Box folder and choose "Attach a Folder Action..." The script that
you'll want to attach is as follows, and should be saved as a compiled
script:

on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving theseFiles
    
    repeat with thisFile in theseFiles
        
        set filePath to quoted form of POSIX path of theseFiles
        
        do shell script "chmod ugo=rw " & filePath
        
    end repeat
    
end adding folder items to
