Why don't you turn on Windows file sharing? That way they can access your Mac in the same way they access other Windows machines.

Well sure... you can just turn on ftp. However I believe you need to create an account for it and allow write permissions if you want it as a drop box. There are a few restrictions on Mac ftp for security reasons... I don't remember the exact details but you should be able to figure 'em out via tinkering
