Sure. This will all be solved once we automatically sync with the cloud storage once the credentials are entered. If this is your first time then you'll just get no data...

I simply implemented the quick fix so that no one else would think they lost their data.

Which reminds me that we also need a "go back to the previous version" UI at some point.

So many things to do. So few people working on the UI
