Will files downloaded from Dropbox, remain on my hard-drive if I deleted them from Dropbox?
Accepted Solutions
Hi @Msgemh, welcome to our Community!
When you download the content from either a shared folder/link, or even from your account online, locally to your device, they become independent files.
Meaning that they don't link to the actual file in Dropbox. Therefore, you should still be able to access the local file, once the file in Dropbox is deleted.
I hope this clarifies!
