Questions about syncing and organizing the Dropbox folder

Hello!

(1) Can I delete the whole dropbox-folder architecture (because sync does not work anymore) without risking to loose any data (folder) of my dropbox?

(2) How can I indicate the status of the file for uploading, i.e., sync offline, or, only-one file, etc?

(3) How can I change the status of a file or folder according to (2)?

Thank you.

Hey @ReeM Berlin, welcome to our Community!

If you'd like to delete your whole Dropbox folder, the first thing you need to do to ensure that no files will be lost, is to unlink the computer from your account.

You can do that either by deleting the computer from your list of connected devices or by signing out of the Dropbox app on that computer.

Also, you'll find the answer to your other two questions in this article from our Help Center.

If anything is unclear or you need any more info, let me know.

Thanks!
