Creating a Drop Box
A drop box is a shared folder that you set up to allow others to write to, but not read its
contents.
Note: You should create drop boxes only within AFP share points. AFP is the only protocol
that will automatically change the owner of an item put into a drop box to be the same as the
owner of the drop box. For other protocols, the ownership of the item is not transferred
even though the owner will no longer have access to the item.
To create a drop box:
1 If the folder you want to make into a drop box doesn’t exist, create the folder within an AFP
share point.
