Issue when trying to share and unshare folders

Hi. I am handing down my old laptop to my son. For that purpose, I want to 'unshare' one of my personal folders that is on it, and share his own folder on it. I can't seem to do it properly. Would appreciate a walk through. ( I tried sharing, and then approving on his email, but I don't see his folder and get a message that he is out of space. even though I have  an upgraded account).

    Hey tamar_gal, thanks for reaching out to our Community.

    I'm not entirely sure on what you're trying to achieve, would you mind clarifying?

    Whose account is currently linked on the computer?

    Do you want to keep the current account linked to the computer and only share a folder with your son's Dropbox account?

    Any additional details would be really helpful.

    Thanks!
