Google Drive offers much higher capacity (i was using 200GB, and recently upgraded to 400GB).

That said, Google Drive's features aren't nearly as nice as Dropbox - dropbox is just incredibly slick. I love the features like simply right clicking on a file on your desktop and getting a public link to it. To do the same sort of thing in Google Drive takes about 5-10 clicks and about 2-3 minutes. Definitely not 'fast and fun'!
That's a lot of files, Unless you need access to all of them all of the time I recommend a 2 tier system, one on Dropbox for the current working files and then unlimited storage and up to 10 computer backups on Crashplan.

Other systems are available of course.

It does not have the simplicity of a single system, but if you can distinguish between what's working and what's backup it's very effective.
