Developer Business Account

We are looking at integrating my application with Dropbox Business API. Is there a way we can do that without opening a business account? Free trial accounts might be possible, but is there a way to make sure those accounts never convert to actual billing (beside remembering to cancel them)?
We wouldn't want to be charged for virtual users.

Thanks.

    We now have the ability to offer developers access to a free Dropbox Business Development Account. This will allow you to test your app using a standard Dropbox Business team. You can request one using this online form. Once the team approves your request, you’ll be sent instructions by email to set up your development account. 
     
    Note that development accounts are granted on a by-request basis and are contingent on additional terms and conditions outlined in the request form. 
     
    Please let me know if you have any questions about this. I hope this allows you to better test your applications in the future.

    Unfortunately, we don't have a system for setting up test accounts for developers for the Dropbox for Business API right now, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request. That being the case, the only real option currently is to use trials like you mentioned.

    Apologies I don't have a better solution right now!
