They can send you a single file request and you can use it to upload multiple files.
I don't see the logic in forcing me to have space in my personal account when I'm not storing the files in my personal account.
But you are storing the files in your account. If they invite your personal account to a shared folder so you can upload files to it, then you have your own COPY of the shared folder in your account, and anything you place in the folder will sync to all other members of the folder.

I have other files in my own Dropbox account. I have already deleted many of them. I can’t delete any more of them. I need them. They are voice files of friends and relatives who have died, and their Funeral Talks.

- You are a Dropbox Genius, Rich! Thank you.
This is what I will do:
1. Upgrade my account from free to something else.
2. Get the ED to send me a file request.
