Will my files be deleted when I change computers due to syncing?
Currently I am using Dropbox on my PC and my files are in Dropbox folder and syncing. I can see the files on my mobile app.
When I change my PC, do these files stay on the Dropbox site and when I connect a new PC, do these files stay? Or since I changed the PC, will syncing delete all the files as they are no longer available on the New PC. The folders may be same on the new PC.

Hey there manp59 - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
Your files won't get affected when you change computers. You'll just need to download and install the desktop app on your new computer, and make sure to log into the same Dropbox account.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
