I have a shared folder and a remote user is getting the FULL STORAGE message. There is plenty of space in my Dropbox account.

    Other users don't get access to the space in your account. If they're a member of a shared folder, they need to have enough space available in their account to hold the shared folder. They get their own copy of the folder in their account, and that copy syncs with your copy.

      Ok, thank you!!!
      So If fellow collaborators don’t have Dropbox the workaround is request for files?

        Hey krisD, I hope you’re doing well!

         

        If you wish for other users to upload files to your own Dropbox account, you can open a file request for them indeed. 

         

        This won’t require them to open a Dropbox account on their end.
