My Google Drive is not ready yet
Apparently it was for a few folks. You can have them email your google account when it is ready though. I too was disappointed

And if it works like I think it will, dropbox is screwed.
They're pricing is very reasonable for 100GB of storage.
This is why Dropbox just increased my free space from 2GB to 5GB last week. I have no need for paid storage so I don't know how the two will compare there.
Who Owns Your Files?

It doesn't have to convert your files into Google Doc format. I have a number of .pdf, .docx, and .xlsx files there no problem.
Edit: no idea what the hell was going on but nevermind that. It doesn't convert them.
