Hi lpvmcâ
Great question. In short, people without Dropbox accounts can upload or replace files only in limited ways, and any changes they successfully upload will sync to your iPhone and iPad. For full collaboration, they would need their own Dropbox accounts.
That said, there are some important limitations to be aware of:

This allows seamless syncing, editing, and version control for everyone involved.
