Which photos will be deleted, when I disable my Dropbox account?
When I delete my Dropbox account will only the pictures in the Dropbox account be deleted? Will all of my other pictures in my regular picture Gallery remain in my picture Gallery?

Welcome aboard our forum, Rockford1936! Thanks for posting here.
When you delete your Dropbox account, any file that’s currently stored on it will be permanently deleted, as well.
However, can you clarify which Gallery pictures you’re referring to exactly? Had you uploaded any photos to Dropbox from your mobile device via camera uploads, and you’re not sure about them? If that’s the case, then these won’t be affected (only the copy you have on Dropbox).
Let me know if I’ve misunderstood something.
- When I referred to my gallery I was talking about my pictures on my cell phone. I just wanted to make sure they wouldn’t be deleted if I deleted my Dropbox account.
