Getting Started Building a File Upload App

What language and method do you think is best for building a simple “File Upload” application?

The application will be a simple way to for anonymous users to upload files using their email as their key identifier (no login required). I would like to host the application the web, and also as a mobile cross platform app on apple/android. Each file will be have dropdown description. In addition to file upload, I would also like the user be able to complete a series of forms. Of course, I will need to code limitations (such as 8MB individual file Size limit, 50MB total upload limit). There should also be a contact form in the app to ask questions.

I am assuming using Dropbox for storage is the most effect way. Do they have any integration templates? Are there any other templates that are also available? Any links anyone can suggest would be helpful.
