Dropbox StaffHey VoiceOfTrenton!
If you have edit access to the folder, the folder will need to take up space in your account as well, so that you can edit it.
If you no longer need to have access to it, you can remove your own access, by following the steps here.
Otherwise, if you need to access it, without affecting your own space, ask the owner to send you a "view-only" link instead.
And lastly, if you need to, say, upload files to their account, they can also send you a file request, which won't affect your space either.
I hope this helps!
