### Bug description

When navigating to a file, like a Blender file or a Pureref file, if the file is located inside of Nextcloud it will not show the Thumbnail. It will show the thumbnail temporarily if you have Windows Explorer opened there already and save, but the moment you refresh or navigate away the thumbnails will disappear.
