### Bug description

I'm running a "portable" desktop client for testing.

- The client is started like `./Nextcloud-3.15.0-x86_64.AppImage --logdebug --confdir . --logdir .`
- `nextcloud.sync.configfile: Using custom config dir "/home/daniel/Code/nextcloud-desktop"`
- After using the login flow, a file with the cookies is stored in the default location `/home/daniel/.config/Nextcloud/cookies0.db`.
