Well, I guess I do now. Let's see, so you mean that, if for example right now that I am with the PC running, I go to Dropbox and delete the account, what is on my hard drive remains intact even if I have uploaded things from that hard drive to Dropbox, this is accurate?

Now I don't get "Error 500" anymore, but what I see I don't understand, this is the screenshot. I do not understand this, can not you see the documents, images or videos as seen on the PC, ie, see some galleries with the images or documents themselves.

I don't know what I'm seeing, I don't know what can be inside those folders and I don't dare to click on them in case I mess something up.

By the way, I am sure I have seen a conversation in Spanish, but I don't see a forum in Spanish, clicking where I am told several languages appear, but Spanish is not there.
