In that case, it sounds like your friend doesn't have a shared folder. 'Only me' means that it is a private folder, or shared with nobody.
Could you ask your friend to check how they joined the shared folder? Did they add the shared folder to their account or if it was a link to a shared folder, did they Save it to their Dropbox?

Also, if you could, ask them if those folders have an icon with two people in them to show that it is shared?
