Also, sharing one location is much better, from an administration and 
security, standpoint to having to manage multiple and arbitrary, 
universally shared locations.

So, it seems like the right approach for "sharing".  Case: Make 
reference material available to the entire audience while giving a talk.

On the other hand, there is also a good case for "send to" 
functionality.  Case: Sending a final draft of a paper to a co-author. 
Useful in cases where information is sensitive and receipt confirmation 
is required.
