I received an email about an upcoming change regarding my shared folders and quota - what is it?

One of my editors received this message. Isn't this against the whole point of dropbox and sharing files?

Shared folders have ALWAYS used up quota (its one of the biggest complaints), so, my guess is this was a Team folder which was handled differently and from when they were only available to paid users and then didnt take up space of those in it.
