    Hi Leah, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Can you check if the Settings of the folder you are trying to share and see if the following setting is enabled?:

    • Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites - If this box is checked, users with the access level of editor or below will not be able to invite collaborators into this folder.

    This is how your Folder settings should look like: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696014-Understanding-Box-Folder-Settings#sharedlinkaccess

    If this setting, is enabled in the folder, the owner/ co-owner need to disable this restriction to allow those with "Editor" permission to invite collaborators in the folder.
