How can I access the files of another Dropbox account without going over-quota?
I had another organization share their drop box with me and now I am out of storage because of it...
What did I do wrong?
Can I still access it without all their files taking up space on my dropbox?
You can remove the share at www.dropbox.com/share but to get a shared link you need somebody who has access to the share to send you it

You havent done anything wrong. Shared folders use up everybodys account - so if you need read/write access you need to have a large enough quote.
If you need just read only ask for a shared link instead and consider returning files back via Requests.
