A team says they're running out of quota when they upload to my account
Plenty of space but Dropbox keeps telling my team that THEY'VE run out of space when they try and upload files to my Dropbox. What is going on?
If you intend to have a large shared folder, between different Dropbox accounts, then you need a plan on each account that can accommodate the folder if the Basic plan isn't enough. Usually the normal Dropbox Plus plan is enough for most users.
You can have users directly upload to your account, without it affecting the quota on their account using file requests.
It is also possible to earn free quota using referrals, so it isn't necessary to upgrade your account if need be.

Shared folders use up the folders of everybody in it, so, you may have space, but they may not.
I don't understand. It's my file. They're just putting something in it. Are you saying that if someone else's Dropbox is full I have to upgrade my plan? That smacks of coercion.
