Why is my account out of space?

Hi adrian29630, you can leave the shared folder from your account, or remove your access to it completely, by following these steps.
It won't affect other users who are currently members of the shared folder.
That is my opinion on this as well. It seems to me that if Person A has an account with a folder in it and wants to share access or content of that folder with Person B there is no real reason why Person B should need to have or acquire limits equal to Person A.
In my case, Person A asked me to help to upload documents to his folder because there were a substantial number and he did not have time to do all of them. I did not need to view these, read them, or interact with them just upload them to a folder in Person A's Dropbox account.
As far as I was concerned I was not sharing the documents just having a shared access to the folder where the documents were required to be stored.
As others have stated it seems to me this idea of sharing resulting in the content being held in both "shared" accounts and therefore requiring both account holders to have the same level of storage is nothing more than a con.

The owner of the folder could send you a File Request, which allows you to upload directly to someone else's account. You wouldn't be able to soo or interact with the files after you upload them, and they would never be in your own account.
