I have tried to use this link How do I deploy web2py on PythonAnywhere? to deploy Web2py on Pythonanywhere but from Dropbox's shared folder.

path = '/home/my_username/Dropbox/web2py'

The result is ...

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request

Have you taken a look at your error logs? (in /var/log/apache/error.log, you can access these via the Web tab). You may find you have an ImportError, because a package you depend on isn't available on PythonAnywhere.

Most packages can be installed by doing a 

pip install --user package_name

You then also need to add the following directory to your sys.path (in addition to the web2py folder):

/home/my_username/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

[update] - this question was cross-posted to the PythonAnywhere forums, where we continued to debug the issue. the final solution was to do with Dropbox permissions

http://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/9/

The answer was to 

chmod g+w /home/Lazarof/Dropbox/web2py

Because the Dropbox folder has special permissions on pythonanywhere, our dropbox sync client needs group-read-access permissions to work.
