1. A method comprising: interconnecting a plurality of computing devices through an orchestration framework that coordinates operation of a computing activity across multiple computing devices of the plurality of computing devices; performing a comparison of a first operation mode of a first application at a first one of the computing devices to a second operation mode of a second application at a second one of the computing devices, wherein the first and second operation modes are respectively one of a managed operation mode in which availability of application functionality depends on a management policy, and an unmanaged operation mode in which availability of application functionality does not depend on the management policy; and either initiating or blocking a transfer of content from the first application to the second application based on enforcement of the management policy with respect to the comparison of the first and second operation modes, wherein the transfer comprises copying the content from the first application to a virtual clipboard, and pasting the content from the virtual clipboard at the second application; wherein the management policy permits the transfer of the content where the first operation mode is the same as the second operation mode, permits the transfer of the content where the first operation mode is the unmanaged operation mode, and restricts the transfer of the content where the first operation mode is the managed operation mode and the second operation mode is the unmanaged operation mode.
