Will removing a synced device from my account delete the files that were connected with it?
Hello,
When accessing DropBox on my mobile phone, it asked me to remove a synced device. I removed a phone that I had connected to my account 3 years ago that is no longer in use. When removing that phone from being synced, does it remove all the photos that were connected with it? Or just photos that would be synced from that point forward?

It doesn't remove any files from your account or the device being removed. The device won't be able to access the account until you sign back in to Dropbox on it.
