Hi Supreme,
We are currently talking to the item designers to see if it is intended that items that are dropped on the ground disappear. If that is intended, I will let you know how long the timer is until they disappear.
For now, I would recommend not dropping items on the ground and instead putting them in your Shared Stash for safe keeping.
