A drop box is a real physical thing, where you drop items for other people to collect.

I was always under the impression that that was referencing the notion from spycraft.
I thought it was a reference to the Mac OS X `~/Public/Drop Box` directory, which was a write-only place for people to send files to your user, which has been around since the first OS X beta came out in 2000.
