  1. I created my appkey and app secret today
  2. I ran DropBoxTokenIssuer.exe (delivered with SharpBox installation) and filled out the key and secret, and specified c:\TestToken.txt as my output file. It says "PingTest would like access to its own folder, Apps › PingTest, inside your Dropbox". There are "Cancel" and "Allow" button below this message.
  3. I clicked on "Allow" - got this error: The website cannot display the page HTTP 500
    Most likely causes: The website is under maintenance. The website has a programming error.

I do have a folder named "PingTest" in my dropbox account; I also have dropbox desktop client installed on my machine.
