If you invited them to edit a shared folder, they need to have an account, and that account needs to have enough available space in it to hold the shared folder and anything added to it. So assuming they have a free account with the standard 2GB of space, you can share a folder with them that has up to 2GB of data in it (assuming they have nothing else in their account). If the folder is larger than 2GB, they would need to upgrade their accounts.

I simply sent them a link to my folder via email.
