I have a free box account and have a question about storage allocations.  

If someone from a corporate account shares files and folders with me (on my free account), does that count against my storage allocation?  

It doesn't appear to be the case, but wish to confirm.

Hi David, 

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

The files and folders that are shared with you are not counted against your Box storage quota. This will always count towards the owner of the item.

Only items that you own in Box will could against your storage.

Thanks for reaching out and please let us know how else we can help!

Regards,
