Hi cambam98, let's jump right into this! 

 

You mentioned that he shared the content with you. Did he use a shared link or shared folder? 

 

In any case, had he deleted the pictures inside the folder or the link, that should have been reflected on your end too. 

 

He could have moved the photos to a different folder, however as far as disabling his account, if he isn't going against our Term of Service, I'm not sure we could interfere. 

 

If you have any questions, let me know!
