Can't Download Shared File

I'm trying to download a large file from Dropbox that someone shared with me, but instead of seeing a 'download' option, I get this message...

"Your account is out of storage!"

Here's the problem – I don't WANT this massive file in my Dropbox account – I just want to download it.  It *looks* like Drobox is shaking me down for money in order to access the file that's been legitimately shared with me, but I'm holding out hope that that's not the case.

Open to ideas on how to get this fixed.

Thanks.
