### Bug description

I'm using the NextCloud Desktop App for Linux on a current Bluefin GNOME Desktop. I have two instances connected (I'd like to connect another one but it seems there is no button and no hint on any limit). Clicking the Trac Icon reveals a menu with the first option being 'Open Nextcoloud Desktop'. Clicking it does nothing. I assume it would not lead to anything other then what the option settings shows but I dont know. It is the latest flathub version. The help page linked from that app does not say anything on this app.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Click on Tray Icon
2. Select "Open Nextcloud Desktop"
3. nothing happens
...

### Expected behavior

Not sure what is supposed to happen. It very much looks like it should lead to something.
