Will deleting the app allow files to redownload again when reinstalled?

Need help‼️
If I delete the app, will all my folders and pictures be saved onto it if I reinstall the app?

    Hi tristanpedersen, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    If you uninstall the Dropbox desktop application, no files will sync to your Dropbox account.

     

    Regarding your query, are you going to be reinstalling the app with an existing Dropbox folder on your computer, or if there's no Dropbox folder?

     

    This will help me to assist further!
