Can't upload pictures to shared folder

Someone shared a folder with me to add photos and there is no option to upload my photos into it.  Only options shown are Download or Save to Dropbox.  I should see an upload button but don't.  Please help!

    You need to get the person to share the folder with you not a shared link.

    They havent shared it with you if thats all you see - they've sent you a shared link. 

     

    You need to ask them to share it to your Dropbox account so that you actually have to accept it
