Mobile editing limitations
Currently, it is not possible to edit documents on mobile if your instance is using OnlyOffice.
Mobile editing was possible on previous releases of OO, but it was removed and after a community backlash it was added just to be removed again and to be released as a paid feature. You can read more on this thread https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/issues/805
If your team was previously editing on desktop and now is moving more to editing on mobile devices. We would suggest opening a support ticket and request for your instance to connected to our Collabora server.

Too many failed login attempts to Nextcloud
As every other modern platform, Nextcloud is also built with security in mind. One security element is brute-force protection. When you fail to log in multiple times in a short period of time, then the brute-force protection is triggered, and you will a message similar to it below.
To unlock your account, you will need to open a support ticket by emailing to support@cloud68.co and provide your public IP address. In case you don't know your public IP address, you can search on one of your favorite search engine for "my IP address".
