I shared a file with you and that makes us collaborators or we're collaborating on a shared file. But there is a distinction in box and it's a distinction worth noting. When I share, what I'm doing is I'm sending a link to a file or to a folder to one or more individuals. I might send them three different files or folder, but in any event I'm sending one or more persons a link. And that link will allow that person then to view or to download that file or the files that are in a folder that I shared with them. This is a great replacement for email attachments. Because when I send someone an email attachment, it's time-dated. For example, today I send you an attachment by email of a Word document that I've finished almost and you don't open it until next Tuesday or maybe open it 10 times between now and then.
