By default, the app uses the folders ~/MEGA and ~/MEGAsync Downloads for the storage, and a folder ~/MEGAsync (why? it remains empty...).
I chose to store my sync folders elsewhere (in ~/Cloud) to keep my home directory tidy. I gave access to these folders to MEGAsync through sudo flatpak override nz.mega.MEGAsync --filesystem="$HOME/Cloud/MEGA/" and sudo flatpak override nz.mega.MEGAsync --filesystem="$HOME/Cloud/MEGAsync Downloads/" (source: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1086529/how-to-give-a-flatpak-app-access-to-a-directory) and defined those synced directories in the app settings. It works fine.
However the three folders ~/MEGA, ~/MEGAsync Downloads and ~/MEGAsync keep being created at every app launch, even if they are not used. How can I disable this behaviour?
Note: I used to have the app through AUR (I run Manjaro), I did not had to reconfigure the credentials, but I had to reconfigure the folders used.
Note 2: I did not had this behaviour with the AUR version, however I wanted to swtich from AUR to Flatpak to avoid the lengthy recompiling at every update.
