I can't figure out how to share a folder and give that new "editor" to my shared folder the ability to make more folders to organize the material in the shared folder, without them having an account that could accommodate the size of that shared folder. In my case, it's an intern who can not afford to open a non-free account. Thanks for your help, in advance. Best, Rob

Hi Robert Barrett, happy Tuesday!
When you share a folder with someone, and especially when you make them an editor and they have to add, remove content etc, they'd need to have a copy of the folder in their Dropbox account.
Now, depending on the size of the folder, and if it's not way above the 2GB of a Basic account, I can suggest this article, as to how the user can get some extra space in their Dropbox account.
I hope this clarifies!
