At least not when even Dropbox can handle files that are theoretically unlimited, up to the capacity of your storage.
Just my two bits.

Gmail has increased message size limit for inbound to 50MB (outbound of larger attachments is done by Google Drive) and Office 365 increased it to 150MB based on the feedback from users.And I can see an increased trend of businesses moving to MS Cloud. So definitely there is a demand for larger attachment size from average user base. Just adding more and more services for sharing large files is more complicated for an average user sending large Powerpoint file and with a need to create more accounts at different file sharing platforms and so on poses a security risk and requires additional costs.
