Step 3: What Happens When You Delete Your Dropbox Account?
When you delete your Dropbox account, all of the files in your account are permanently deleted.

Other Options For Managing Your Files
When you delete your Dropbox account, all of your files are deleted from our servers. However, you may be able to retrieve your files from the trash if you accidentally deleted your account or if you changed your mind within 30 days of deleting your account.
There are other options for managing your files besides Dropbox. One option is Google Drive. With Google Drive, you can store and share files with others. Another option is iCloud. iCloud is a cloud storage service from Apple. It lets you store photos, videos, documents, and music on your devices and access them from any device with an Internet connection.
