If I delete photos from my camera folder on my phone will they stay in Dropfox Camera Uploads folder?
Hi,
I want to delete photos from my phone to get storage space back. If these have already been synced and in the camera uploads folder in my dropbox they would not get deleted by deleting them on my phone, correct?
If you delete photos from your phone's camera roll, gallery, etc., they will not be deleted from from your Dropbox account. If you delete them from the Dropbox app on your phone, they WILL be deleted from Dropbox, but will stay in your phone's camera roll.
- I use Dropbox to store photos from my phone and I'm running low on phone storage space. Is there a simple and safe way to delete files from my phone once they are stored on Dropbox? Or am I stuck going file to file on my phone?

Hi there chillaxter13, thanks for posting here!
Once you've uploaded the photos or files from your phone to the Dropbox app, you can go ahead and delete them from the local storage on your mobile too free up space.
Deleting photos from your Gallery won't affect the copy of the file that you uploaded to Dropbox and vice versa.
Hope that clears the matter up, let me know if you have any questions!
