Transfert de propriété et suppression de dossier
Bonjour, J'avais créé un dossier que j'ai partagé avec d'autres personnes. N'en n'ayant plus besoin personnellement, je voudrais le supprimer de mon compte, tout en le laissant chez les autres me...

Hey JWMS, jumping in here as well, I hope that's okay!
Deleting the Dropbox folder from your snippet above, would cause your Dropbox folder to be deleted and along with it, all your Dropbox files and the backed up files, so please refrain from doing that.
If the files in your Dropbox folder are old and useless to you, you're welcome to delete those ones, and the deletion will sync to your account on dropbox.com.
But now, what needs to be done is basically up to you.
Do you want your desktop files to be backed up to Dropbox, so you can access a static copy on dropbox.com?
Or do you want to sync them? If you sync them, you'll be able to access and edit them both from your Dropbox folder and dropbox.com, whereas with Backup, you can just view them on dropbox.com, but not edit them.
If you'd like to sync them, they'll need to be added to your Dropbox folder, outside the PC folder.
To be safe, if you want to do this, I would suggest disabling the backup, so that your desktop folders are moved back to their original locations on your computer.
And then, you can move only the files you want to the Dropbox folder, to sync them to your account.
It's up to you, but I hope this helps!
Bonjour caroliney,
Merci pour nous avoir contacté via le forum Dropbox!
Vous avez deux solutions possibles :
- la première consiste à transférer la propriété du dossier partagé comme expliqué sur ce lien ICI.
- la seconde étant de supprimer ce dossier. En effet, lors de la demande de suppression il vous sera demander si vous voulez laisser une copie du dossier sur chaque compte Dropbox des membres.
