Public bug reported:

Giver (http://code.google.com/p/giver/  screenshot: http://goo.gl/9M0zF) used to be a really functional and handy program but it has been abandoned and no longer works in newer versions of Ubuntu (11.10 and up). The new version of Mac OS X (Lion) has adopted this feature (they call it Air Drop) in the file browser. Here's a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MAZAnX6MGY
This would be a fantastic productivity feature that will make Marlin excel beyond other file browsers.
It can be achieved by using the Avahi service to talk to other computers and by looking at the source code of Giver.
At the moment this would work great with Marlin but this file sharing technology can be used in other elementary apps eg. Sending music from BeatBox to other computers using BeatBox.
