The users home directory would likely be set up by policy but it is only
writable by the logged in user so putting a public directory within a
home directory is non-sensical.

Drop box directory inside a public directory makes sense.

Many hardware manufacturers use the R: & S: drives for CD, CD-R, DVD
drives so while it might sound good, it may require 're-assigning' the
letter of the drive on some machines.
