How can users edit files in a folder without affecting their Dropbox quota?
How can a folder be shared so users can access and edit the documents inside the folder without spending their own storage? The folder is over 2GB.

Dropbox StaffHi LEC1, and welcome to our forum.
Do you mind clarifying what kind of updates you’d like them to make to that folder?
Is the folder way over 2GB in size, or is there a small difference?
Let me know, and we can go from there.
Way over. Edit excel and word docs.

Hey LEC1, thanks for clarifying!
In order for this to work, without the end-users having to utilize their own quota, would be to follow this procedure:
You would be able to send them the folder using a shared link. They would download it locally, edit the content and then in order for them to send it over your way, you'd need to send them a File Request.
Otherwise, they'd need additional quota, in order to directly access the folder, and edit the content inside it.
If we shared them as View only - would they be able to download?
