Also, for ages Macs have had a &quot;Public&#x2F;Drop Box&quot; folder as a write-only way for other people to give you things (and it actually makes a lot more sense in that interpretation).  It did make it a little confusing when starting to use Dropbox itself, as then you have &quot;~&#x2F;Dropbox&quot; and &quot;~&#x2F;Public&#x2F;Drop Box&quot;.
