Well, there is the problem. That's normally not what is wanted, because any user can delete your files. :) It's obviously not good to put the files in a folder in a Users home directory, because only one user has normally access to it. So you can't use the Drop Boxes. You can put files in the /Users/Shared directory, a place where all users should have read access, but only the persons who put them there has write access. (This makes sense, because if User X put something there for User Z he dosen't want that User Y deletes it before User Z had time to access it.) In your case you could make a folder on the root level of the HD or on a separat partition (requires administrator privileges) and copy the files there as administrator, then select the folder in the finder, press command-I (as stated by Will) or select Get Info in the File Menu, then go to the section ownership & permissions (click on arrow to open subsection), click on details, click on the lock to unlock it (asks for permission), set access of owner, group and others to read & write, and press on Apply to enclosed items... This should do the trick. regards Andy
