Invitation to edit a folder

If I have been invited to edit a folder for a business, why does my free account tell me I need to upgrade my personal dropbox account?  Isn't the business already paying for dropbox?

    Hi ace5 

     

    Shared space on paid accounts does not benefit you I'm afraid. If the business wants you to get the quota shared with you they need to have you as a paid member of the team.

      OK.  How does that work?

        Your account (or a new one) has to be given access to the Team by the Team admin - and they then need to pay for the appropriate licence for that
