I'm using 750 MB out of 12 GB of space but it says that I need to upgrade to join a folder

Help please...

I have the basic ..., I referred a few friends in the past.
So I got 12.75 gig of space...

Now a friend wants me to join his folder on his dropbox... but when I click his link..., I got the "need upgrade" page..., and I can't access his folder ...

I don't have anything in my "backup" folder...

Whats wrong? Can somebody help me please?

TIA.

      Hey NUL80, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

      How large is the folder you're trying to join?

      If it's larger than your available space, you won't be able to add it to your account.

      Can you check and let me know?

      Thanks!
