    If you are sharing folders to the users, then you can have free accounts accessing the folders without needing a to add them to a team account.

     

    However, the Dropbox Basic plan can hold up to 2 GB of quota, so it wouldn't be possible to have shared folders larger than that shared on the account.

     

    Let me know if you need more details.

Shared folders can be accessed by free accounts without having to be added to a team account, so free accounts do not need to be part of the team.

 

Although the Dropbox Basic plan has a quota of only 2 GB per account, it is not possible to have shared folders bigger in size than the quota that the account has.
