When you’re choosing the AirDrop destination, does it show just one destination (you, via iCloud) or do you see two (one for each account)?

If there’s only one destination, and you’re using Fast User Switching, then are not both accounts logged in at the same time? How would the AirDrop daemon know which account’s Download folder to drop the file into? There would be no difference between the two accounts.
