Stay tuned for improvements to Dropbox sync soon.

If you use Dropbox Sync to sync your Overleaf projects with your Dropbox, archiving or trashing a project will stop it syncing for you, like archiving a project did before we made this change. You can choose to move them to Trashed Projects if you like.

If you already had projects in Archived Projects before this change, they are still there.

Deleting a project forever will immediately and permanently delete it, both for you and your collaborators.

When you decide it’s time to empty your Trash, you can choose to Leave projects on which you are a collaborator, or to Delete Forever projects you own.

Archiving or Trashing a project won’t affect your collaborators on the project (if any) - it just affects where the project appears on your projects page.

If you plan to get rid of a project, you can put it in the Trash.

If you’re not actively working on a project but want to keep it for reference, you can Archive it, so it doesn’t get in the way.We’ve made some changes to how the Archived Projects folder works on Overleaf, and we’ve added a new folder called Trashed Projects.
