Dropbox StaffHey RamRock, thanks for posting your question to our Community!
When you talk about leaving Dropbox, do you mean deleting your account?
Or just not logging into your account ever again? Because in both cases, your files will be deleted.
If you delete your account, the files will be deleted immediately and if you just stop accessing your account, the entire account will be deleted due to inactivity after 12 months.
Also, if you want to access the files currently uploaded to your account, you can do so from this page.
Let me know if you have any questions.
But please!!! They do not answer the main question, I know, it is obvious, that if I close the account everything is lost, but what about my hard drive? Because, I repeat once again, some time ago I read that what you upload to Dropbox from the hard drive, if you close Dropbox, is also deleted on my hard drive.
Let's see if I get an answer to that question which is the most important of all, I've been asking it since the beginning, and I never get an answer.
More than 80 percent of what I have in Dropbox is on my hard drive and that is why I want to know if it is true that if I delete the account or if I simply delete some files, they are also deleted on my hard drive. Sorry for the capital letters but I don't know what to do anymore to make myself understood.
