Recipient of shared link cannot access the folder
I have a free account. I want to share a link to a folder. Dropbox allows me to create the share link. When I send the link to a friend, he gets the message
You don't have access
You can ask the person who shared the link to invite you directly.
Does the other person need to have a dropbox account?
I simply want to share documents in the folder "view only" mode.
Do I need a paid dropbox account to send "view only" folder links?
What is the minimum paid account that will allow me to send view-only links?

You don't need a paid account and the recipient doesn't need an account at all. You're likely creating an Edit link. Make sure you're creating a view-only link.
