https://googledrive.com is Google! It's hosted with Google drive (like dropbox can do). So this is one case where it would pay not to use the same domain, actually.
Edit: Also important because that way password autofill won't automatically fill in your details.

That's a major security flaw.
On the plus side, looks like your report worked. As of a few minutes after you posted, the link says it's a phishing scam.

Actually that's a feature, now anyone can host a simple webpage without any hassle the fact that this dude figured out a way around it is kinda cool but I'd rather they not remove this bec of phishing attacks.
On the other hand I can see how THIS specific attack is very dangerous: people might assume that they need to login to google to see the content hosted by google....
For example, my Citi credit card uses "accountonline.com" as the login page. With things like that, "googledrive.com" seems less suspicious.
So to anyone building for the web: please use a single, canonical domain name!
