A Dropbox transfer will expire; will I lose the files?

Hi, I'm new to Dropbox and use it mostly to save photos, recipes, articles, etc.  A few days ago I copied a few photos from Dropbox to my "Photos" app on my iphone.  I just received a notice of expiration for these transfers.  If I go in and delete the transfers, will the photos still be saved in Dropbox?  I don't want to lose the photos.  The notice says I have to upgrade to change - what does that mean?  Thank you!

    Hey DLV76, thanks for posting your question to the Dropbox Community!

     

    Where are you currently accessing these files from? Are they saved to your Dropbox account, or are you just accessing them from the transfer link?

     

    If you've saved a copy to your Dropbox account, these files will not be affected, they'll still be in your account.

     

    But if you haven't downloaded them yet, make sure to do so, before the transfer expires.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.
