Two-way sync disables itself whenever folder is displayed in Favourites tab #18045

Description

⚠️ Before posting ⚠️

  • This is a bug, not a question or an enhancement.
  • I've searched for similar issues and didn't find a duplicate.
  • I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
  • I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Mark a folder as favourite
  2. Go to details tab, enable sync
  3. Go to Favourites tab (folder has never been synced yet)
  4. Wait for it to load
  5. Go to Settings -> Internal two way sync
  6. Folder is gone

Expected behaviour

2-way sync should not get disabled

Actual behaviour

Loading favourites disables 2-way sync

When enabling sync the only message I see in the log is FileDataStorageManager: saving file Test Folder into [REDACTED]/Weiteres/Test Folder/. Since the same message appears when loading the favourites (see log), I assume it somehow overwrites the 2-way-sync setting.
