Storage Space
Looking for help with managing the storage space in your Dropbox account? Talk to the Dropbox Community and get advice from members.
If I have been invited to edit a folder for a business, why does my free account tell me I need to upgrade my personal dropbox account? Isn't the business already paying for dropbox?
Hi @ace5
Shared space on paid accounts does not benefit you I'm afraid. If the business wants you to get the quota shared with you they need to have you as a paid member of the team.

OK. How does that work?
Your account (or a new one) has to be given access to the Team by the Team admin - and they then need to pay for the appropriate licence for that

Hey @ace5, thanks for reaching out to us.
Apart from what Mark mentioned, if the person who invited you to the folder is not planning to invite you to the team, they can send you a link to the folder instead.
A shared link will give you view-only access to the folder, which will not affect your own space.
And if you need to upload files to their account, they can send you a file request.
