Description

### What Happened?

The icons of bookmarked remote locations icons change to a question mark after closing and reopening Files. See the two items above the trash:

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Open files, connect to a server via sftp or ssh.
2. Bookmark the directory.
3. Notice that it will appear on the sidebar with a cloud icon.
4. Disconnect it and close Files.
5. Open files again.
6. Notice that the newly bookmarked icon is no longer a cloud, rather a question mark.
(7. If you connect to it again and refresh, it will become a cloud icon again.)

Note: if you don't disconnect it in step 4, after reopening the generic folder icon will appear instead of the question mark.

### Expected Behavior

The icon should stay a cloud icon.

### OS Version
