It is mandatory spam or does unsubscribe really work without making a federal case?

Seems that it's mandatory. But I guess one can always unsubscribe from CNET newsletter later...

Would be interested to know too. My Google drive is bursting out soon. Having another Chinese service provider as back-up temporarily.

Personally for security my choices would be either SpiderOak or Mega.SpiderOak will only give you 2GB free but is probably one of the best in terms of security.Mega gives you 50GB free and would be my personal choice for free space and security.
Pogoplug as far as I can recall doesn't or did not have encrypted storage only transfers are encrypted.It is however unlimited everything for about $5 USD/month
I use Mega,Dropbox & MediaFire.I do have some files stored on One Drive

However with a Temp/Disp. email you can grab 30GB of free lifetime storage so I would say it is definitely worth having around however I am not sure I would store anything really important.
The cons that I have read concerning pogoplug were no device syncing,no storage encryption and no file versioning.
One thing to consider is that all data is stored on Amazon3 servers along with a ton of other cloud storage services without encryption.

This is a pretty good deal. I signed up a while back and have not received any spam really.

Is this Promo unaffected by the changes to free account holders? (How To Download Everything From Your Account | Pogoplug Blog)
If you have a free account, as of June 15th, 2015 you will be locked out of your account and you will not be able to access your files. To save your data you can either upgrade to an unlimited account, or use our backup software to easily download the contents of your account.

Mega is no longer trustworthy since "Kim Dotcom" is no longer the owner of the domain. currently his wife and a chinese company which holds most of the shares control Mega.
you read up on it further if you want:
