Make sure you're signed in with the Essentials account when you access the Support page. The options available to you will vary based on the account you're signed in with. If you're not signed in or you're signed in with a Basic account, none of those options would be available.
If you're certain that you're signed in with the correct account and you still can't access the appropriate options for your account, visit your Plan page and verify the plan that you're on.

It isn't possible to share your quota with another user, unless you're on a Dropbox team together. Your Essentials plan (and quota) is for your account only, and can't be shared with another user.
The other user would need to upgrade in order to add a large shared folder to their Dropbox account.
