Uploading photos and deleting them from phone, how does it work?
So I upload photos to Dropbox from my camera roll, if I then delete those photos once they're in Dropbox and sync new photos, say a few days later, does it then delete the photos from Dropbox that I've deleted from my phone, or just keep uploading the new photos?

It will just continue uploading new photos. Also, deleting a photo from your Camera Roll will not delete it from Dropbox, and deleting a file in Dropbox will not delete it from your Camera Roll.

Hi Mandaluce, thanks for messaging the Community!
Provided you're deleting the photos from your phone itself, and not from within the Dropbox app (or any other services connected to Dropbox), then the files on the Dropbox site would remain.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
