Deleting Synced Folders (18-12-2014)
Prior to November 2014, if you deleted a synced folder locally, that folder was unsynced on the Web application.
The following now applies to synced folder deletion:
- Personal folder: if you delete a synced personal folder locally, that folder is deleted on Box.
- Collaborative folder: if you delete a collaborative folder, you will receive a warning message that the folder will be deleted for all collaborators. At this point, you may choose to confirm the deletion or just unsync the folder.
