    Hi richsilv, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    When you move files and folders into the Dropbox folder, if the Dropbox desktop application is running and syncing normally, the files will appear on the site. This will allow you to share them to other people if need be.

     

    Any changes made to files in the Dropbox folder, including deleting them, would delete them from the site.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
