Also, for ages Macs have had a "Public/Drop Box" 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 "~/Dropbox" and "~/Public/Drop Box".
