Firstly, Drive is still catching up with Dropbox's software. I tried to move from Dropbox to using Drive and I couldn't. Drive just isn't reliable enough. I've had problems with several files that wouldn't sync until I updated/restarted the Drive client. They'll fix these issues, but I still don't trust it as much.
Secondly, Dropbox offers services Drive doesn't, such as it's API for iOS and Android apps. I use the iOS App with several other apps and it's not clear either if Google will ever offer an API like that, or if they do whether independent developers will adopt it the same way they have with Dropbox.
I think Dropbox have established a pretty secure niche for now. If I were them I'd definitely be concerned about Drive, and it's possible they'll get squeezed out if they don't continue to innovate (I hate typing that word, it's so over-used), but Dropbox must have always known that if they stood still they'd be roadkill eventually.
