Get 10GB of Pogoplug cloud storage for free

Who says you can't get something for nothing? For the next 10 days, you can not only get something for nothing, you can get double. For this Cheapskate exclusive, Pogoplug is offering 10GB of cloud storage free of charge. Regular folks off the street get a mere 5GB.

Pogoplug, of course, makes the popular eponymous gizmos that plug into your router, effectively turning any USB drive into a network- and Internet-accessible storage. But the company is also pushing hard to become a cloud player, as evidenced by this latest offering.

That 10GB of space isn't quite as versatile as, say, Dropbox, but it has value all the same. For starters, you can drag and drop items from your desktop directly to the my.pogoplug.com site inside your browser. And those files are accessible from any other PC or mobile device. If you upload music, movies, and photos, you can stream them wherever, whenever.
