If you're so scared that your files are so easily deleteable, why don't you keep backups?

I do, but if Dropbox deleted a file, it would be deleted off the synced backup too, unless I get something with infinite version history.

So you keep your files and your backups in dropbox?

Rule 1 of backups is "don't keep your files and your backups in the same place". Pretty much common sense.

Why would you sync the backup? Just backup the contents of your Dropbox folder to a hard drive every night. Then it's on the hard drive and Dropbox can't access it.

Incremental backups or deduplicating storage (ZFS)?
