The only way to 'upload' someone else's tree is if they send it to you by email as a gedcom (FH tree programme) if you were to then upload it from your own computer, it would over write anything you have on GR.

If you have had permission to copy the relevant part, you can use the 'clip board' function. Open their tree, select a few of the relevant people who are immediate relatives to the ones you have in your tree, then paste into your tree. Then repeat.

You can open GR as many times as you like in different windows or tabs. You may find that easier, so you have the other users tree open as well as your own, and manually copy the information.

Everyone would advise that you take other peoples research as a guide only - everyone makes mistakes at some point.
