The novelties of the service are several but the most important are two. On the one hand, the function cloud-photo-syncing that allows us to synchronize all the images on our device automatically. On the other hand, the possibility of adding a four-digit lock code (a PIN) that will be required every time we try to open the application, which adds a very convenient level of privacy for all our files that we have hosted in the service. .
With this update MEGA reaches the novel of other applications such as Dropbox or Box, without forgetting the great storage that the Dotcom app offers us in its basic version: 50GB of free cloud storage.
These are all the news offered by MEGA in its update 1.1:
- With PhotoSync, the photos you take with your iPhone are automatically copied to MEGA.
- You can use Wi-Fi or cellular connection and activating the background mode of the application will upload photos when your location changes significantly.
- Password lock adds a new layer of security that requires a four-digit password, which must be entered each time the application is launched. This will protect your files, even if your iPhone falls into the hands of others. There is also an option to erase all data and log out if a wrong password is not entered more than 10 times.
- Various bug fixes and speed improvements.
The annotations to this update are also concerned with pointing out that MEGA it is a service to the service, worth the redundancy, of its users and that for that reason «Although we might not answer all emails, we read each and every one.
