Hi JaisyCT
You cannot add a folder to an account if it will put you over quota. You also cannot edit/change what is in a folder until you have it in your account - and remember deleting it for you would delete for everybody. So, you can ask somebody else to delete things to make it smaller or if you need to just get read only access ask for a Shared Link instead.

I found out that the shared folder that I am trying to download is 1.98 GB. I probably do not have enough space to download that as I am using 391.1 MB already in my 2.0 GB plan. There are 21 duplicate songs downloaded that I can not seem to delete because they were shared with me and I do not own them. Is there a way to delete them? That might free up enough space - or maybe it won't. I do not want to have a paid plan. I might need to see if they can share the folder in another way.
