Hi DebraV, it's indeed a shared folder that they invited you to join.
In addition, it sounds like they use an individual account, not a Business one. Keep in mind, that when sharing a folder, both the recipient and the sender need enough space on their account, in order to add the folder there.
If you just wish to download, and view the content you can ask them to share a link with you instead.

Hi Megan,
Just went to have a look at the invite I got...does this sound like its just a sharing situation not a 'Team' account? The person has said about a paid account with 2TB of storage. (x's replaces text for confidentiality.)
"Cxxxx Lxxx (cxxxx@xxxxxxx.com.au) invited you to edit the folder "XXX xxxxx and Xxxx Cxxx" on Dropbox."
Thanks
Debbie
