Hey SoundsEngaging, thanks for posting your question to our Community today!
Indeed, to add someone to your team, you'll need to purchase a license for them; so, you'll purchase the license, add the user, share your files, etc., and when you're done, you can remove the person from your team.
This will free up the license they take up, so now you can either keep it, as an empty seat for the next user you'll be collaborating with, or you can remove it.
You can remove a license at any time and the reduction will take effect at your next renewal date.
Basically, this is more up to you and how you prefer to work, but if you'll be removing and adding team members all the time, keeping the license, instead of removing and adding it back, would be more efficient in my opinion.
I'll of course leave this thread open, in case other users can share other alternatives/experiences with you.
Let me know if you have any questions!

That's helpful, thank you for confirming.
Dropbox now has more of my £££s and our freelancer now has a team licence - I'll check back in here later down the line if the rest of the process doesn't work as expected or if I have other questions.
Keen to hear if others have different experiences/workflows when engaging freelancers with their Dropbox.
Thanks!
