What happens to files on my old computer when I reconnect it to Dropbox?

So I am using Dropbox for desktop. My pc became dead and I was syncing all the files to Dropbox.

While I can access the files on Dropbox website, I am little confused if I again install the Desktop app on my new pc. these files automatically sync to my new pc.

Suppose I get my old pc repaired and uses Dropbox from there and I make changes to the files. Will these changes also happen in my new pc?

Hi @manp59, thanks for messaging the Community.

When you repair your old machine, any changes made to the files from the site or the new PC should sync to the repaired machine.

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
