You were likely sent a view-only shared link, which does not allow you to upload or edit the content of the folder.
If you need to upload files to someone else, they either need to send you an Edit shared link, invite you to a shared folder, or they can send you a File Request. You'll need to contact the person that sent you the link.

Thanks again! I sent your answer to the person that I am working with. I'll keep you posted as soon as I hear back!
