Will I lose all my pictures if I delete the app on my iPhone?

Do you mean deleting the photos on iPhone Photos app? In that case, it wouldn't delete them in Dropbox on your computer. However, if you delete the files in your iPhone Dropbox app, it will delete everywhere in Dropbox including your computer and Dropbox web.

Just had a message my drop box will drop from 48gb. How can i check all data you hold is copied or downloaded to my pc before the offer ends. As i have thousands of pics uploaded to drop box and hopefully downloaded to my pc at home.
Theres no automated way to do it - you need to do it yourself.
However, the drop in quota only stops you uploading more. It won't stop you downloading.
