Size for shared folder for users with different plans

Hello

I have a shared folder which potentially is going to grow in size over 2Gb. Now I'm using a Basic Free plan with a 2Gb cap. If I subscribe to a Plus plan and my shared folder's size reaches over 2Gb can all other Dropbox users without a paid plan use that shared folder?

Thank you

    If they only have the base 2GB of space, no. They need to have enough available space in their account to hold the folder.

     

     

    That said, many Basic users have more than 2GB available if they've used referrals or other promotions (before upgrading, my Basic account was 70GB). As long as they have enough space in their account, they'll be able to access the share.
