Highlights
Remote Wipe
While Nextcloud supports Mobile Device Management solutions, thanks to built-in support, remote wipe will work on systems not under management of the company. This is useful for home users but also large universities and of course in a scenario where guest accounts were handed to a third party. If you permit downloading of documents by the third party, you can wipe the documents from their devices when the the collaboration has ended.
Remote wipe can be used on a per-device basis by users and on a per-user base by the administrator.
Remote wipe as a user, per device
Remote wipe as admin, per user

Unbranded clients adjust to colors and logo choice of the server.
Branding and deployment optionsAdd accounts easily with a QR code
Adding a Nextcloud client on the desktop is easy as the browser login can be used. This means setting up the desktop client often just requires clicking an approval button. On mobile, though, Nextcloud uses secure tokens, besides the username-password method.
To simplify setting up the clients and save the user time, a simple scan of a QR code allows users to set up their mobile clients in a quick and convenient way.
