Only feature I don't see but is handled another way is the right-click, create public link in Dropbox. instead you just share it with an email via the web interface. But that isn't too big a deal.

so when did you sign up to be notified YOUR drive was ready?  I didn't realize I was supposed to do that so just now signed up.

It appears google drive doesn't support linux. dropbox does.

I'm also a little disappointed that they aren't offering any kind of
client-side encryption like other file-share services do.
Disappointed, but not surprised. Any data Google can't read, is data
they can't index to tie things together into one cohesive search box
in the cloud, and data they can't use to pay for the service for
targeted advertising. I'd easily pay $5/mo for 100GB if it worked on
gnu. But I'd pay $15 if it was properly encrypted.

This will be very cool for small business Google Apps customers
though! Having a shared drive that works the same across the country,
without having to maintain a fileserver. Definate win.
