When using multiple Nextcloud accounts, sometimes it is not easy to see which one is being used when using various Nextcloud-related functions.

Test Case:

  1. Create 2 Nextcloud servers (nc1, nc2)
  2. On each of these those servers, have a user of the same name/userid (e.g. "myuser")
  3. On SailfishOS, create an Nextcloud Account on each of the servers for user "myuser"
  4. Enable "Backup" in account creation for each
  5. After accounts have been created, edit the description in the account settings to make them discernible (e.g. NC1, NC2)
  6. Go to System Settings, Backup
  7. Activate the Nextloud selector dropdown

--> Each of the accounts will show up as "Nextcloud (myuser)" making it hard to know which is which.

Sugggestion/Solution/Feature request: instead of (or in addition to) the username, use the account Description field to name the selection.

While Ihave not tested specifically, I'm sure this applies to other aspects of the UI, or Nextcloud features.

It can even be generalized to other Account types, e.g. several "General Email" accounts, which often will show up as "Email (username)" and do not use the Description field of the account.
