Hi Janika,
If the Python appcfg utility works the same as the Java one, the options go 
before the action, so it should be something like this:
appcfg.py -A apageaboutturtles -V 1 download_app C:\Users\*****\Desktop

Also, I'd suggest learning to work with version control, rather than using 
dropbox or google drive. Bitbucket.org <https://bitbucket.org/> offers free 
hosting for private projects.
