I nearly never use Google Drove on my Chromebook outside of things I'd have in Drive anyway (Docs, etc). The only 'hard' ties to Google in ChromeOS are logins, updates, and a special Drive interface. I also don't treat it as a computer, just a slightly smarter thin client. And that's fine by me (in fact, that's part of the appeal).
