Do you have enough space in your account to hold everything in the share? If the shared folder contains more data than your account can hold, you won't be able to access the folder without upgrading.
Can you provide a screenshot of the message you're receiving, just to make sure this is the issue that you're facing?
Thank you for getting back to me. I’ve been using the shared files for over a year and I have very little space, I don’t need to store it in my Dropbox., but I only need to view her shared files I don’t need to store them myself before the Paywall ad up I had a choice to “ view only” I so don’t see an option to send you a screenshot. Can you help with this so I can send you a screenshot? Thank you

Hey Raven9! Hope it’s OK to jump in.
In this case, you can perhaps ask your teacher to share a link with you instead, so that you can view those files without adding them to your Dropbox account, which would take up storage from it.
You can check more details on shared links here.
If you have any questions on the feature, you can always ping me.
