You're not uploading to your client's folder. You're uploading to a copy of the folder in your own account, which takes up space, and that syncs with your client's copy. You need to have enough available space in your account for any shared folder that you're a member of.
If you don't need access to the files after you upload them, ask your client to send you a File Request instead.
