Too Many File Sharing Web Applications?

I couldn't quite figure it out till now. I'd see an announcement and I'd have a sense of deja vu like I've read this announcement before. I've seen this splash page some place else.




Now I get it. It's the attack of the online file sharing services. You might have seen these before: sometimes it's just a single page that says "Drag and Drop Files Here".



 It's simple, it's elegant, it works. But, I'm wondering: what opportunity are these apps chasing? Sharing large files is a pain point, Yes. Is there a lot of money here? Can you charge people for it? What's the game plan here? Is the intent to scratch a simple itch or build the first cog in the wheel that will change the world?
