Because the files exist in your account.
When you have access to a shared folder, you're not accessing someone else's folder. You're accessing your own COPY of the folder within your account, and you need to have enough space available to hold that folder.
If you just need to view or download files that someone else is sharing with you, ask them to send you a shared link instead. A shared link is a view-only method of sharing and you don't even need a Dropbox account to access it.
I have Dropbox Plus and my friends have Basic. I am trying to share folders with people so they can upload files I want, but every time, they get a message saying their Dropbox is full. If I have 2 TB and that is somehow disabling them from uploading files to my folders, how can I reduce my folder size so they can share with me?
