Markdown preview with syntax highlighting
Markdown files are an easy way of taking meeting notes with your colleagues, writing down some quick ideas or thoughts, drafting a new proposal during a team call etc. After structuring the text with basic formatting in a human readable way you usually have to get back to it, maybe on the go, or you share it with other people who access from their mobile phones.
In this release the Android client supports many syntax highlighting for markdown preview, in read mode only. So now, markdown files are human readable and well structured even when you access them on the go!
This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of one of our awesome community members, Andy Scherzinger.
Remote wipe integration
Remote wipe allows users and administrators to forcibly clean files from remote devices, for example in case they are stolen. Now this feature is available on the Nextcloud Android client as well!
While many companies have Mobile Device Management, 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 files from their devices when the the collaboration has ended.
These things usually catch you unprepared, as no one really expect it at any time. Now remote wipe is available on your mobile’s settings, so you don’t need to be in the office to prevent data “disasters”!
New media player service
Some issues had been encountered with the media player for Nextcloud. One of our awesome community members, Chris Narkiewicz, had the idea to solve this solution, but then, instead, decided to entirely rewrite it, turning it into a new architecture that allows us fixing any current and future edge cases easily.
Thank you Chris!

As companies sometimes have to use older versions, Nextcloud offers long term support. Contact our sales team for more information on this.
