Can I allow collaborator to edit but not allow them to delete files?

Question

Hi,

Can I allow a collaborator/consultant to edit file I share with them but prevent the file from being deleted in case they delte it on their Dropbox?

I tested sharing from my firm business account to my personal dropbox account and when I delte the file that was shared from my personal account the file is being deleted also from the business account folder.

Main problem is that my home PC doesn't have as much memory as the firm PC and I would like to remove projects after I am done working on them...but the deletion need to be only on one side.

Any help appreciated.

Hi there @KurlandDesign, 
 
Currently, any member of a shared folder that has edit rights have the ability to add, edit and delete files in it. You can find more info about member permissions in this article. 
 
However, if you want to make space on your hard drive but you don’t want to delete folders from your Dropbox account, you can selectively syncing those folders. By doing so, you remove them locally from your computer, but you continue to have access to them through the website or until you sync it back to your desktop app again. 
 
Don’t hesitate to give me a nudge if you have any other questions!
