	I set up a dropbox account to receive some files from another person. As a trial I put some of my files up there as a test. If I now delete those files from my dropbox account will they be deleted on my own computer as well?

	My son says (because I have no idea) that as long as you only delete/remove the files from within the dropbox webpage or mobile app (whichever you are using) then it won't remove the files from your computer. Kath. x

	Thanks for confirming what I thought was probably the case, Kath.
