Shared DP / Storage space issue

Hello,

I am working on a project with other people that have DP Business accounts but I don't.

Is it possible to use their storage space only on the shared files so it doesn't affect my storage space? 

Thanks for your help

    They would need to add you to the Business Team and buy a licence for you to do that. 

     

    Otherwise if you only need read only access ask for a shared link instead.
