Re: Will deleting my phone pictures affect the ones I've uploaded to Dropbox?

Hi Courtneyluv1013 ,

On mobile devices (including Android phones), files (including photos) don't keep in sync. Once something is successfully upload, you can delete it without affecting already uploaded file. Opposite is true also - you can delete a photo in your Dropbox account (if needed) without affecting the photo in your camera roll.

Good luck.
