Content on a device is encrypted and protected based on a data protection key. The protected content can then be copied to cloud storage, and from the cloud storage the protected content can be transferred to various other ones of the user's devices. A key used to retrieve plaintext content from the protected content is associated with an identifier of a particular device that provides the key, the device providing the key being the device that generated the key, or another managed device to which the protected content was transferred. A wipe command can similarly be transferred to the various ones of the user's devices, causing any keys associated with a particular device to be deleted from each of the various ones of the user's devices.
