Keep safe access to documents when another user has closed their account

Paul43

I want to keep access to some documents a family member has shared with me, before they close their dropbox account.

 

A family member is about to close their dropbox account, but before they do they wanted me to have some of the documents they had prepared.  They shared it with me; and then changed the ownership so I am now the owner of the document, and they can merely view it.  But it is still a shared document.  So when their account closes:

• will I lose safe access to these files?
• do I, as the new owner, now need to unshare the documents before their account closes to be safe?

  Or am I worrying unnecessarily.  Any help much appreciated.

Hi @Paul43 

 

Closing the account wont do anything to the files in yours 🙂

 

However, if you want to be ultra safe simply move the files out of the shared folder in to your own directories and then they are totally independent of the other account.
