You'd need to coordinate your configurations. You say that you're
using "marks", which I presume means you're using fold markers
(":set foldmethod=marker", note that you might have to also change
'commentstring' to something appropriate for the language you're
using) rather than "set foldmethod=manual".

According to

:help fold-marker

you can manually specify the fold-level after the markers. You can
then have the other person set the fold-method to "marker" and then
use "zM" to close all the folds you want closed. This gets pretty
close to what you want, though it breaks down if you want to send
folds that don't get closed.
