Dropbox library in LC 9 - centralise the access token?

[Ben Rubinstein]

That's why I raise it for discussion here first.

My guess is that if this is only in LC 9, and only since DP-7, then the number 
of people already using it will be small - certainly in proportion to the 
number who will go on to use it in years ahead!

And for those small number of people (possibly single digits??) the effort to 
switch existing code will be pretty low...
