Uploading to client's account causes my Dropbox to go over-quota

Client has sent me an invitation to share docs, and pics, problem is I am on a free dropbox, so when I upload photos after a little while it tells me my that MY dropbox is full. 

 

Is there a way of them sharing there drop box where I can just drop (upload) my docs and photos without having to fill my dropbox.

    Hey Tarig! Thanks for your post here. 

     

    In this case, they can send you a file request instead so that you can add your files directly to their Dropbox account. 

     

    This won’t affect your own account’s quota and it doesn’t even require you to be logged into Dropbox to upload them. 

     

    Let me know if you need further help.
