Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!

Not sure this is a bug, since the app is intended to be used by the same user. I agree however that it would be better for these settings not be synced.

To give some background, it is the same user but i have device accounts with different access in webdav but if that is the case and it will not get fixed I will create a separate account only for super productivity. As long as I know what you decide:)

It's been an annoying problem for three months that i finally figured out the root cause:)

Big thanks for the project you built!

To be honest: I likely won't work on this myself anytime soon. But in case someone comes along with a PR, I promise to review and merge it as quickly as I can.
