We appreciate your feedback here about Dropbox.
Generally, you don't need to have a subscription to use Dropbox. And you can always add some free bonus space, if you need some.
Regarding sharing, it really depends on which method you choose to share your files.
When it comes to shared folders, the person who creates the folder is considered the owner.
If you're invited to a shared folder with edit permissions, the folder gets added to your account, so it takes up space in your account as well, even though someone else created it.
And if you delete a file from a shared folder, it will get deleted for all members, but if you delete the folder altogether, it will only get deleted for you.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you still have any questions.
