Hi Josh; When you have a file in your Dropbox account it can be left there indefinitely. You may not want to do that because in the free account you only have 2 GB of space and leaving files in there will take away from your available useable space. It would be best to delete the files after you or whomever you put the files there for have downloaded them.
If you are talking about deleting the files out of the My Dropbox folder on your harddrive, yes they will be deleted from your Dropbox in the sky, so to speak. If you have downloaded a files / files from your Dropbox and placed them / saved them somewhere on your computer outside of your Dropbox folder those can be deleted but, only if they are outside of the Dropbox folder. Anything deleted inside the Public / Photo folders will be deleted and not be accessible to others. I hope that I haven't butchered the hell out of this explanation. If I have made this confusing will someone jump in and bail me out, please! Hope this helps. Take care.

When you upload a document to Drop Box is it there indefinitely until you decide to take it out of your drop box account or is there a time frame? Question 2 if it is uploaded to Drop Box can you delete the file (s) off your hard drive? J.P.
