And I don't understand why the first script is better than an alias of her DropBox on =his= Desktop.

Or as I suggested an alias of her desktop on his desktop :-)

Permissions would be a problem with dropping directly to the other users Desktop, which is why somebody else suggested making a new group, adding both users to it and making the Her desktop owned by that group. Then it would work. With drop-boxes you don't need the extra tweaks because they're already writeable by everybody.
