I would say it's more that you don't need Dropbox's non-storage features and value Microsoft Office. My $100/year pays for the quality sync client and the web interface than the space (I have fewer files to sync than you do.)

Since there are probably more people who are paying for quality/reliability than paying "per gigabytes," they would badly hurt their business by offering a plan that cheap.

Since OneDrive's lower quality product satisfies you, you don't need what makes Dropbox good, and it doesn't make sense for them to pursue you by introducing commodity pricing.

Why can't they offer the same quality/reliability at $40 for say 250GB ? I value Dropbox quality sync, but i think they will have to lower prices sooner or later. And let's be honest, it's not that Dropbox is flawless, even when using just syncing i had my share of problems over the years that i used them (since 2009).
