Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when... A solution to a problem (speaking in ITIL terms) includes "this will cause total loss of your unsynced data", like in #2942 . As the root cause of that problem, which is yet unfixed, seems to be an issue with a token to access the user's cloud, a mechanism is dearly missed to re-connect (and subsequently sync) to a cloud.
It is apparant that, because tne NextCloud client still flawlessly connects (and syncs) to the cloud, while the Notes app doesn't, there is a lack of communication between the two, IMHO.
Therefore I am asking for method of reconnection. Thanks!
Describe the solution you'd like
A method to re-connect to the user's cloud. Either by asking to user to enter credentials or by receiving a new token (?) from the NextCloud app...
Describe alternatives you've considered
There are no alternatives. (Total) loss of data is unacceptable, IMHO.
