No. That's an actual restriction of Dropbox. Each member of a shared folder has their own copy of the share in their account, so they need to have enough available space in their account for anything stored in the share.
If you just need someone to be able to upload directly to you, and they won't need access to the files after they've been uploaded, use a File Request instead.
Thank you Rich. Unfortunately they will need access to the files. Is the only way for them to be able to access the files by buying more storage for their personal accounts?

If they only need to view the files they've uploaded, you could give them view-only access to the files with a Shared Link.
