What happens to all my pictures if I delete the Dropbox app from my iPhone?

Will I lose all my pictures if I delete the app on my iPhone?

    That just means it will delete the local data for that application, not your files, etc. Any app that you delete from your phone will say the same thing.

    Deleting the app from your phone will not delete any of the files in your account.

    Do you mean deleting the photos on iPhone Photos app? In that case, it wouldn't delete them in Dropbox on your computer. However, if you delete the files in your iPhone Dropbox app, it will delete everywhere in Dropbox including your computer and Dropbox web.

I know this post is old but kind of experiencing the same thing, so will this work for Android as well? I have a moto x and it's saying that Dropbox is using (645mb)/of space and if I delete the app will that delete my photos?
