    Dropbox doesn't have the equivalent of a "service account." All accounts belong to users.

    Is there a scenario you have in mind? Once a user has authorized your app once, you can reuse that access token indefinitely, so there's no need to repeat the OAuth flow. (And if you just want an access token for your own account, you can generate one in the app console.)
