Obviously there's some sort of system preferences setting that's getting in the way, but when I try to command+option +drag someone's drop box to my desktop, I can't. When I create an alias of my own drop box for that person and put it in their drop box, they can drag that alias to their desktop - and then, as if by magic, it turns into an alias of THEIR drop box. This is infuriating, since I've been using this method to make file sharing quick and easy since at least the mid-90's. Nope.
