Hi Vicki! 

I'll be happy to explain things here.

Anything you delete from a folder that is synced with Dropbox will be deleted from your account. 

However, if you copy the content of your Camera Upload folder to another folder and you then delete content from the Camera Uploads folder, that won't affect the files from the original folder. 

I hope that helps and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!
