I think because dropbox is already there and apparently noone was keen
enough on a free version of it to kick a project off?

I did not use dropbox until now because I dislike
- that the code is closed
- that I can not host the service for myself

Webdav over https could serve as a poor replacement, but the 
'caching on the client' part is missing.
