    Hey there dfertig - thanks for dropping by our Community!
     

    If the shared link was shared with you with view-only rights instead of edit ones, it's normal that you can't upload.

     

    In this case, you'd need to ask your collaborator to open a file request for you instead.

     

    I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
