Recipient of shared folder having to buy space?
Why are the recipients of my shared folders being told they need to sign up and pay for dropbox or saying they need more space?

Yes, a Dropbox account is required to join a shared folder.
If your clients only need to view or download the content, and have no need to upload files to you or modify the files in the folder, you can send a Shared Link to the folder instead. A Dropbox account is not required for a Shared Link.

I guess the documents my collegue posts, and to which I have access, is "counted" as part of the space I use ?
When you're a member of a shared folder you have your own COPY of that folder in your account, so it uses space just like any other files you have. If you no longer want/need access to the shared folder, you can remove it from your account on your Sharing page.
Many thanks for your return and a solution !
Great
Have a good day
