Distraction is a killer, I went to delete doubles of music files that were cluttering my computer and I mistakenly deleted mostly all the files that were on my Dropbox account not my physical computer. For the last 5 days I'm painstakingly re populating all the music files I deleted ( I use Rekordbox that syncs with Dropbox) I'm just taking a break as I have least 10 hours doing this so far. Is there a way to retrieve deleted files from my dropbox account instead of doing it this way?

In terms of restore have you looked at https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore ?
Regarding the copy / move thing that's controlled by the OS and it is usually move because Dropbox is just a folder like any other on your computer. So, it defaults to whatever the computer is set to do. There isn't a way to change this for Dropbox

so I would have to copy all files loaded on dropbox and save locally just in case , I got that. BUT can I retrieve erased files from my dropbox account?

Dont forget Dropbox is locally (at least if you have set the files available offline) - it is a folder like every other.
And you can erase deleted files, yes, with the link I already gave.
