First of all, the Shared Folder is a service provided by Dropbox. It enables the users within the Shared Folder to share the same files at the same time. For example, in a Shared Folder, there are three owner, namely A, B, and C. Whenever, A puts file into the Shared Folder, B and C
will automatically get the files. Which also means, if either, B or C, puts files into the Shared Folder, the other two will get it too. It works the same for the deletion, whenever one of the user in the folder delete a file, all the copy in the other two member are deleted as well.
