Since when could you perform file transfers via Screen Share (i.e. dragging files from shared desktop to your own)?

I remember thinking that it would be cool to be able to do so when we bought our first couple Macs four years ago, but with Snow Leopard, you had to install a 3rd party app to do it. I'm not big on third party apps when I can help it, so I held off. I remember trying it again recently (by brain fart) on Mountain Lion, but it didn't work so I was like, "oh yeah, that's right. I'm on screen sharing." I had the same brain fart and inadvertently tried it again the other day and Voila! It worked! Is this a new feature for Mavericks or have you been able to do this for awhile?

What other cool, little known features are a part of the system now? Post 'em here, if you know.
