MEGA’s latest 17.10 update trims the app size to 353 MB, reinforces end‑to‑end encryption, adds new VPN server locations, and streamlines the meeting UI, delivering faster calls and safer file transfers. You’ll notice quicker syncs, clearer video chats, and an extra layer of privacy—for your data.
Key Features in the MEGA 17.10 Update
Enhanced End‑to‑End Encryption
The core zero‑knowledge model stays intact, but the handshake protocol has been tightened. This means any file you upload remains encrypted from the moment it leaves your device until it lands in the cloud, blocking man‑in‑the‑middle attacks.
Improved Meeting Experience
MEGA’s meeting rooms now load faster and display a cleaner interface. You can start a video call with a single tap, and the app automatically optimizes bandwidth for smoother video and audio. The result is a more reliable remote‑collaboration tool.
Expanded VPN Server Network
Four new VPN server locations have been added, giving you broader geographic coverage. The extra servers reduce latency and provide an additional compliance layer for corporate users who need to tunnel traffic through trusted endpoints.
Performance & Bug Fixes
Low‑severity bugs that caused occasional sync hiccups on older Android builds have been patched. The overall app footprint is lighter, which shortens install time and frees up storage on your device.
Why Security and Convenience Matter
For everyday users, the update translates into faster access to files and clearer video calls without sacrificing privacy. For IT professionals, the reinforced VPN tunnel adds a compliance boost, making MEGA a viable single‑pane solution for storage, meetings, and secure browsing.
What the Update Means for You
Whether you’re backing up a family photo album or preparing a confidential report, the refreshed MEGA app gives you a streamlined way to keep data safe and accessible. You no longer need to juggle multiple apps for storage, conferencing, and VPN—MEGA bundles them under one encrypted roof.
Looking Ahead
MEGA’s steady climb in user ratings suggests its integrated approach could set a benchmark for competitors. Expect future releases to keep sharpening performance, expanding server coverage, and reinforcing the privacy shield that users like you rely on.
