You haven't been given access to their account. You've been invited to join a shared folder. When you accept, you're adding the folder to your own account, so you need enough storage to hold it. You're not directly accessing a folder in their account. You have your own copy of the folder, and it syncs with theirs.
You'll either need to upgrade your account or, if you only need view access, ask them to send you a shared link instead.
I have provided access to someone with a basic subscription to upload files to one of my data rooms. They are being told they need to pay to upload any more data. It is my room, under my subscription, why would this individual need to pay for a subscription just to upload files for a two week process? It is my dropbox room.

Super User IIIf they have been added to a shared folder which they then have read write access to it uses up their space and their quota.
If, however, you just need an upload off them cancel the share and send them a Requests link: www.dropbox.com/requests.
