That costs money to maintain, even if it's just a few bucks a month. I've seen plenty of Chinese companies using mega/gdrive/etc just because it's free. I used to think it was just cheapness, but depending on the company it can be a huge hassle to set up recurring small bill items. At my current company for example, it's much easier to pay $5-10k once than pay $5/mo.

With Google Drive specifically, scale becomes an issue though. Once too many people download a given shared file, it gets flagged for possibly being a piracy operation. Not sure about MEGA, but they also have some limits (although for normal drivers this shouldn't be an issue).
