Hi jen2fe
You are nearly out of space - you only have 74mb of space left based upon the data you posted below.

So, your colleagues either have more space, a paid plan or are part of a paid team.

If you're receiving a message that your storage is full, that means the shared folder you're trying to join is larger than the amount of space available in your account. You'll need to upgrade to add the folder to your account.

You won't be able to add the files to your account if you don't have enough space, but you should still see a Download button allowing you to download the files to your computer. Can you provide a screenshot of what you see? Be sure to mask any private information.
