Hi @mausoftware ,
Thanks for reaching out. So first of all, be aware the files will stay safe in the cloud even if you delete from the Mac.
Are all of the required files for future use synced?
This is an important part before the next steps.
- Go to Dropbox App
- Right click on the icon
- Go to preferences
- Click on the account tab
Do you see the option to unlink this dropbox there? If so, select it.
Delete the Dropbox app by going to Finder.
In the applications folder, find Dropbox.
Drag the Dropbox app to trash and empty the trash.
As long as the files were fully synced before you unlinked, they'll remain in the cloud, which you can then access from a new device later on.
Let me know if that clears it up.
