Because there's a conflict between Nautilus Elementary and Compiz.

Solution:

  • In Nautilus : select menu Edit->Preferences->Tweaks -> under Application uncheck "Enable rgba transparency".
  • In CCSM : Enable Windows Decoration, at Windows shadow line, replace "any" with "any (class=Tooltip | Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | Unknown)" (without quotes).
  • If there's still no shadow, restart Nautilus by typing this line in Terminal : "nautilus -q" (without quotes).

Hope it useful for someone who need!
