I deleted a photo from my phone and it got deleted from Dropbox
I deleted a photo from my phone while I was out. When I got home there was a dropbox notification that the photo had been deleted from Camera Uploads. Earlier support says this shouldn't happen.
How do I disable this feature?

Deleting a photo from your phones camera roll/gallery will not delete it from your Dropbox account. There is no mechanism within the Dropbox app that can do that.
However, if you deleted a photo within the Dropbox app on your phone, then you're deleting it directly from your account online, not from your phone's camera roll.
