Delete content only on my phone, not in Dropbox. How to do that?

dondario

Hello. Dropbox free.

I have set automatic upload of photoes taken from smartphone to dropbox.

 

1) reviewing the pictures in dropbox, I want to delete some of them, but only from dropbox, not from my phone. how to do?

 

2) I created a folder shared with my daughter. If she (or I) deletes some pictures from dropbox, I do not want them removed from the smartphone. how to do?

Hey @dondario, thanks for the additional clarifications.

 

That message you're seeing has to do with the devices linked to your Dropbox account.

 

If you have multiple devices connected to your Dropbox account and you make a change on one of the devices, the rest will also sync this change.

 

But this only affects Dropbox; if you have the same files on other locations on your computer or your phone, deleting them from Dropbox won't affect those.

 

I hope this helps!
