Shared content takes up my own quota too, even though the owner has enough space in their account.
Hello, I'm having trouble sharing/syncing my files with my Boss's shared Dropbox because of my 2gb quota. I'm sure he has a pro or business account so he should have a ton of space for my file...

That's not how it works. You share a folder with him, but you don't share space. You're still limited to the amount of space available in your own account. Since you have your own copy of the share in your account, it takes up space in your account.
