One thing I do notice is that you have to make sure the drop box is synchronized with your local files before using them. For example, I send an exe to the drop box and it shows there right away. Then I have someone download it to their machine. It is very possible that it is not completed uploading before the other person downloads it and you can imagine the results. So I make sure I wait until both transfers are complete and I don't have any problems.
