#2If you're willing to let them have access to your contact list.
Where have I heard this story before?

#3"Looking for free, reliable cloud storage?Dropbox offers 2GB, while SugarSync gives you 5GB. "
I would rather pay a very measly $5 a month for 50GB for the reliability that the company I use has a stable business model and is likely to be around in 2 years time.

#4Is there a good, encrypted cloud storage provider? I'm subscribed to SpiderOak but it's not very good. I'm not sure if that's because the problem is inherently hard, but it has a lot of trouble even syncing, it freezes a lot, etc.

#5This deal is useless. You get 50 GB but no desktop client for syncing (that costs extra $$$), so if you want to upload your 50 GB through clunky web-based interface, be my guest.

#6"Now for the bad news: Box doesn't do file-syncing the way Dropbox and SugarSync do. There is a desktop component called Box Sync, but it's available only to Business and Enterprise account holders." #fail

This deal is useless now
But if you get 50gb for life surely it could come in handy later. I mean Ubuntu recently made moves to turn your Android device into your Desktop PC [1] and who knows how far this sort of thing could go in the next few years. To me it sounds worth trying just on a speculative front.

They're not some kind of overnight start-up, they've been around since long before Dropbox.
