Hello,
Newbie here!
If someone shares a folder with me, why does it count against my storage limit?
I don't want the folder/files stored on my end. I will be using only a portion of the files.
I just got a new shared folder but can not view it, it says I am over my limit.
Please help
Thanks

Dropbox StaffHi oliver31, welcome to our Community!
I'd be happy to explain. Essentially when someone shares the folder with you, they allow you to add it to your account so you can work together.
The folder takes up space on the sender's, and the recipient's end. You would therefore need enough space for the folder to be added to your Dropbox account.
If you want to avoid that, you can use a shared link instead.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Ouch!
Paying double for the same file.
Thanks for the clarification, I will be using Dropbox as a one-time project! I guess my only option is to get a trial
