If you’re sure you want to delete your Dropbox account and all of its data, then follow the steps below.

What Happens When You Delete Your Dropbox Account

When you delete your Dropbox account, you’ll lose access and functionality to virtually everything you’ve ever used in Dropbox. Deleting your Dropbox account means:

Download All of Your Files All At Once: Hover your cursor to the left of the Name label at the top and select inside the checkbox that appears beside it. All of your files will be selected, marked by the blue checkmark beside each.Download Only a Few Selected Files All At Once: Hover your cursor to the left of any file name select inside the checkbox that appears beside it. Repeat for as many files you want to download.

You’ll lose all of your data stored in your Dropbox account, as your files will be deleted from the Dropbox servers. Your devices are automatically disconnected from Dropbox and will stop syncing. You won’t be able to access your account at Dropbox.com, but files will still be accessible to you locally in the Dropbox folder on your computer. You won’t be able to edit files in shared folders. People you shared files with will still be able to access them.
