I'm trying to create a Drow character, but the Dark Elf (Drow) race isn't displaying in the character builder for me. I *do* own the PHB on DDB. I see only 3 subraces under Elf: Eladrin, High Elf & Wood Elf. Did a search on this issue but only found people running into the problem when they didn't own the PHB or Dark Elf (Drow) subrace on DDB.
Nope, this problem is not solved. Nearly two years and a standard race is still missing in the character creator.
I can access the Drow just fine.
Are you sure you have purchased the Drow or the PHB on Beyond? The Drow is not in the BR/SRD, so it is NOT a standard race offered for free. The only free races on Beyond are the ones in the BR/SRD and EEPC.
I have the same problem and I have purchased the phb. One of my friends can access the drow and I used to be able to but now for some reason it is gone along with some other races I used to have the option to choose.

If I understand you correctly, you purchased the phb here on DDB. If that is correct, check to see if your entitlements need to be synced (see link in my signature). While on that page, scroll down to "current product licenses" and check to make sure that 1) the PHB is there and 2) that you purchased the entire PHB and not the "compendium only" option.

I can assure you the Dark Elf (Drow) option is not missing from the character builder:
However, this option is not in the Basic Rules/SRD and thus you do need to satisfy one of the following to access it:
If you don't meet one of those bullet points, you won't be able to access the Dark Elf (Drow) race option in the character builder
