### Bug description
When starting nextcloud client (on a Debian sid system running KDE Plasma), I get the following warning / notification:
```
Changes in synchronized folders could not be tracked reliably.
This means that the synchronization client might not upload local changes immediately and will instead only scan for local changes and upload them occasionally (every two hours by default).
The watcher did not receive a test notification.
```
### Steps to reproduce
Start nextcloud client, wait for a few seconds to have this notification pop up.
### Expected behavior
No such error or at least provide instructions how to fix them.
I did find https://help.nextcloud.com/t/fedora-30-client-message-changes-in-synchronized-folders-could-not-be-tracked-reliably/57228
```
$ cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
65536
```
I tried increasing that value:
```
sudo echo 6553600 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
```
but that didn't help.
