So they have some clout with developers, SMB's and enterprise customers that's nice but a majority of their revenue comes from consumers who will find a hard time paying for Dropbox when Google will offer Drive for free.

Really? I would expect the majority of their revenue comes from the business offerings. (I couldn't find any published numbers)
