The value of dropbox filesystem integration is huge (not a shill for DB). You can grep for stuff, do ordinary search, supply the files to any app that presents a file dialogue, etc.
Google drive files live in their own hermetic world. There is a desktop client but it doesn't reliably sync to the local filesystem; when it does most of the files aren't actually searchable so you have to do two searches if the file you want might be on google drive. So stupid.
Different accounts are hermitically walled off as opposed to the "different parts of the filesystem" way you can handle locally.
And even if you can somehow do everything inside the google drive, well stuff shared with you can't be part of your file organization like it could with dropbox or, you know, the filesystem. If someone shares a directory with you google drive still won't let you make it a favorite much less move it in with the rest of your files. No, it just keeps falling lower and lower in "shared with me" as other stuff is shared with you. Pathetic.
