When you have a screen share where macOS 10.12 is the target and you try to drop a file from the viewing machine into the target the file will not transfer and operate as OSX 10.11 does. The file will drag in a selection box or highlight everything in whatever application was closest to the edge of the shared screen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have two Macs on same network with one that is running macOS 10.12 (Mac-B)and has screen sharing enabled.
2.Login to Mac-A
3. Find a shared Mac-B in finder and connect via screen share.
4. Drag a file from Mac-A desktop to Mac-B desktop to transfer the file.
5. Observe the failed behavior

Expected Results:
Drag and drop file betwee two machines should initiate a file transfer as it does in OSX 10.11.

Actual Results:
The file will drag in a selection box or highlight everything in whatever application was closest to the edge of the shared screen.
