Does deleting a member delete files they uploaded to our Team Folder?

Question or Issue
I'm using Dropbox Business with access for 3 users.

We have a Team Folder containing material we have all uploaded and all need access to. One of our team is leaving so I want to delete this Member from our Dropbox. Are files that person uploaded to the Team Folder still visible and available to the rest of the team, after I delete the member? Thanks

Hi @MultiMatt75, thanks for posting today!

When you delete a team member, you get the option to transfer their existing files and folders to another member on your team using these steps.

That article also states which items are transferred across and which aren't due to sharing permissions and the like.

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

Hey Jay - thanks so much. I've seen that article, but I guess I am looking for reassurance that when I (as admin) delete a Team Member, files which that member uploaded to the Team Folder will remain available to other members.

The files would be available once the account transfer is done. This is in order to assign the file and folder ownership to a specific user, which can also be the admin themselves.
