Description
Right now, with Files app integration enabled, I can browse in the Files app the recently opened account. This integration allows not only browsing in the Files app, but those files are available for other apps to use (in my case it's Keepassium).
However, I have multiple accounts and sometimes I need to switch them. After such a switch, the previously available file is no longer available for other apps to use. It means, I need to remember to switch the account back for everything to work correctly. If I had a use case, so that other apps need files from multiple accounts, it'd be even impossible.
I have an idea - maybe each account could be treated as a separate directory in the Files app integration. What do you think?
