Automatically copying files from a shared folder to local folder and keep them after being deleted
a group of us have a shared folder. files are uploaded to it and stay there for a week to a month and then they are deleted and then replaced w/ new files.
I'd like to copy any new files poste...

Then how do you sync a folder and NOT have it delete files when they are deleted on Dropbox ?

You don't. If a folder is syncing, anything in it will sync any changes made.
The only way to do what you want is as Hannah described, which is to manually copy the files from the folder (or copy the entire folder itself) to another location on your drive. Nothing in the copy will be deleted if files are deleted in the original folder.
