#Remove dropbox files from mac how to#

I am only hesitant as I dont want to create some mess where my files no longer become accessible/readily avail on my hard drive -Im paranoid about this for obv reasons but alos because I have searched all over and have not found a solution nor have I seen that other have been able to find a solution as to how to resolve the issue of hard drive files getting simultaneously deleted whe nthe yare removed/deleted from dropbox account. I know under 'personal Account' and 'General' in the Desktop My Dropbox app it is very clearly pointed out that if you DELETE my Dropbox than your data wil lbe gone forever.īut what IF I took another route and instead under Security tab What if I were to simply TRASH the Devices that Dropbox are linked to? In theory then they wouldnt RESYNC to those devices until I asked it to - then at that point I can hopefully pay a little more attention and be selective about what I allow Dropbox to Sync up with. I have the app downloaded on my desktop and I was not able to go that route either. However, I was not able to follow the suggested step past Step 3.
