Dropbox is profitable yeah? Why wouldn't they be around in 5 years? Google's prices are so much cheaper than Dropbox

You just answered your own question. Dropbox is convenient because you've already installed it everywhere. Google Drive is already on your Android phone and in your e-mail inbox.

I think that's actually part of the problem, I think of Google Drive as where I put attachments from email, not files and folder on my computer.

I can't put my finger on it but Drive just seems clunky, especially with the GMail / Docs integration.

Try it on Ubuntu or Mint then! Talk about clunky, you have no choice but to get the stuff from the web and download. That's why I stick with Dropbox.

I would argue drive is better. Not only does it have device syncing like dropbox but it seamlessly integrates with the google ecosystem. And now its much much cheaper.
