Thank you for getting back to me. I’ve been using the shared files for over a year and I have very little space, I don’t need to store it in my Dropbox., but I only need to view her shared files I don’t need to store them myself before the Paywall ad up I had a choice to “ view only” I so don’t see an option to send you a screenshot.

Hey Raven9! Hope it’s OK to jump in.
In this case, you can perhaps ask your teacher to share a link with you instead, so that you can view those files without adding them to your Dropbox account, which would take up storage from it.
You can check more details on shared links here.
If you have any questions on the feature, you can always ping me.
