Uploaded to shared folder higher than my own quota... how is my file doing?

Hi there!
So lemme get this straight: If someone already pays money to have their own account with lots of storage space and I wish to upload something for them there, in THEIR storage space, in THEIR shared folder, and IF the sum of the space that files takes up PLUS the sum of the space of the stuff I own (and don't share) takes up reach a number that exceeds MY quota then I actually CAN NOT upload the file?!???
Because this looks like it is EXACTLY what happened to me. I find that crazy!
