Changing dropbox ownership

We currently have a dropbox account managed by a member of staff that has recently left. I have managed to change the email address so that is done and have changed ownership of the internal folders ...

So my other colleague is now the owner of all the folders. If my ex colleague now goes in and unlinks her account then will all our folders still remain? I just need to be super sure as we have a lots of things on there.

Hi Beckaluna44, yes, unlinking the app shouldn't remove any of the content there.
