Hey Rachael321, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
Shared folders in Dropbox take up space on each account that's a member of the share so in this case, you might want to ask them to open a file request for you.
This way you'll be able to upload back to their account without impacting your own quota.
I hope this helps!

Dropbox Community ModeratorIn that case, your client can send you a shared link with view only rights to the folder you'd be uploading through the file request they opened for you from their end Rachael321 But again, you'll only be able to view and download from the link, not edit and have the edits be reflected on your client's end. This would require a shared folder which would be taking up space on both of yours and your client's accounts.
Let me know if you have any follow up questions, Rachael.
Hello, I've been sent an upload request from a client and I'm uploading a file 60GB in size however it's proving extremely slow to upload despite both me and my client having 1GB internet speeds (we both plug into our modems via ethernet to ensure a close to 1GB internnet connection). Is there an upload limit when uploading files via an upload request link?

I just wanted to mention that there's no limit when uploading to file requests.
