You've likely been invited to a shared folder. When you're a member of a shared folder, you have a copy of the folder in your own account. In other words, you're not uploading directly to your client's account; you're uploading to your own and that syncs with theirs. You need to have enough available space in your account to hold everything in the shared folder.
If you don't need to access the files after you upload them, ask your client to send you a File Request instead.
