    Hey MamaBear2017, how exactly did you share the files? 

     

    If you used your sister's email, I'm guessing you directly shared them with her, which means she needs a Dropbox account, and enough space on her account in order to access them. 

     

    Have you tried following these steps, in order to maybe send your sister a "view only" shared link?
