Dummy account for testing purpose

- Our company is integrating with dropbox

- we are writing unit tests to test our functionality which uses dropbox java sdk and oauth token.

- Till now we used a personal dropbox account. The app is created with 'folder access' , so i presume it can access only one test folder in the account.

- the unit tests can keep running say many times a day 24/7 .

- what is the standard approach for this. Is this ok, to use a personal account for sample testing.  

- Is it mandatory to have a dropbox business account. Is there a concept called 'test / dummy account' 

 

Thanks in advance

    Dropbox does not offer testing accounts like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. You can use any account you register.

    Any update on this? Is there a way to obtain test account in order to avoid Captcha check as it prevents automatized testing?

    FarukTest No, I don't have any news on this request. Dropbox doesn't offer a special kind of account for testing like that.
