Hi Deb,

Currently. there are no notifications that you will receive if anyone uploaded files in your boss's dropbox account. You have to check it manually if new filess has been added or your boss will be the one to tell you if she/he is done uploading the file to her dropbox.

Yes you really need to click the share button and its either you share the file by sending a link to the recipient via email or you can get the link directly from dropbox give it someone who you would want to view the file. The faded profile picture is just a thumbnail. Nothing to worry about. 

Let me know if you have further questions.
