Share files of a "master" account with "slaved" accounts

Example:  a "master" Dropbox for a fee account (with 3 TB of memory space) wants to  share files  (only viewing) with one or more "slaves" Dropbox basic accounts (only 2 GB of memory).
Now it's impossible:  each "slave" account must have enough memory space like the "master" account.

It would be useful that each "slave" account could have access to the files with "basic" Dropbox account.

    As a workaround you can send shared links which dont use the space of anybody other than the account they are in because they arent added to an account, they are viewed on the website.
