Permission levels on UBbox follow a "waterfall" design in which individuals only have access to the folder they are invited into and any subfolders beneath it. People can be invited into folders but not individual files.
The person (or people) you invited will receive an email invitation to sign up for a free Box.com account (if they are not part of UB). You will receive an email notification when the person has accepted your invitation. The person will also be added to the list of folder collaborators.
