think of dropbox like an odd ftp server. they are not technically available on the website, well they are if you don't have the client installed but once they are uploaded to the server they are download to our computer. and let's say if you are working on an outboard project they can get it when there computer downloads your file. If you don't want that person to be on the project anymore you can simply unshare that folder with that person and set it up so it removes everything in there shared folder and I mean everything. no warning. This happened to me when I got kicked off of shockwave radio. Promos, station ids everything got removed.
Also when a person removes a file from there folder it is reflected instantly on your side. and it does not go to the trash either. It is simply gone. Take care and hope that help a bit.
