Don't invite them to a shared folder. By doing that, they need a Dropbox account and enough space within their own account to hold the shared folder. Instead, send them a shared link to the folder, which will allow downloads without needing a Dropbox account.

Dropbox StaffHi Holly9525, thanks for checking in.
Generally, since shared folders take up space in every member's account, the user needs to make sure that they have enough storage to add it.

Let me know whenever you have the chance to check this out. Cheers!
