Hey Robby - During the beta test of D&D Beyond, we'll only be including content that is freely available in the D&D 5th edition SRD and D&D 5th edition Basic Rules and will not include additional content from a Commercially Released Book or Supplement.
All of the remaining published content from the PHB, DMG, MM and other D&D 5th edition books will be added to D&D Beyond for product release - the cost for accessing this material has not yet been announced.
Drow don't appear in either the SRD or the Basic Rules, so wont be shown here during the Beta.
Does that also apply to the forest gnome subrace? I noticed that dwarves, elves, halflings all have their two subraces but gnomes only have the rock...was going to start my own thread but figured I could start here.
It's your own fault, really. It's been stated many times, many places that only SRD and Basic Rules are being used during beta. Should've checked into it, especially if you thought things were missing, before committing. YOU have completely screwed up a D&D campaign. Nice job. :)
Will Drow eventually be added at one point or another? I'm kind of surprised they wouldn't be included from the Get-Go. It's a little disappointing, really. I wasn't exactly leaning on it as an option, but now it looks like I might have to use some kind of workaround in the future if I were to make a Drow character. Either that or make the character on a different format.
EDIT: There's even an a Drow elf icon in the character creation Avatars drop-down - they have to be adding it eventually.

Hi Bloodtusk,
During the beta test of D&D Beyond, we'll only be including content that is freely available from Wizards of the Coast, including the D&D 5th edition SRD , D&D 5th edition Basic Rules, Elemental Evil Companion and potentially others. The beta will not include additional content from a Commercially Released Book, Module or Supplement.
All of the remaining published content from the PHB, DMG, MM and other D&D 5th edition books will be added to D&D Beyond for product release - the cost for accessing this material has not yet been announced.
TL;DR - Drow are already in the database and will be made available when the site goes live.
Will Drow be added to the character builder any time soon?
It already is. You just have to buy the race, race pack or the whole PHB to access it. Drow is not in the free content offered by Wizards, and therefore is not free on here.
I noticed there is no sub race for the drow under elf.
Is this an oversight?

Yup! - Only subraces from those two rulesets will be in until the tools officially launch.

Well, you've completely screwed up a d&d campaign. Nice job.

It will be added as part of the content available after release this summer, along with the other (sub)races, subclasses, feats, etc.

Bumping old topic.
Will Drow be added to the character builder any time soon?
Oh, thanks for the heads up. I just started using this service. I was unaware of the purchase component of the site.
All good. You can purchase one of the three ways to access the Drow here.
Yep, done. Thanks for the heads up!
