Hey antoniovandre, like Mark mentioned, shared links provide view and download access tot he content.
If it's a 'can-view' link, you won't be able to upload files to the folder.
The owner of the folder, however, can either invite you to the folder itself, or send you a file request, so you can upload your file, which won't take up space in your own Dropbox.

Thats the corrected expected behaviour antoniovandre
Dropbox shared links are read only one way downloads. If you want to have more than that you need to be sent an edit one
