Using nextcloud desktop on a scheduled task or service

Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: 3.217

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using nextcloud desktop in service or scheduled task mode.

Describe the solution you'd like
Since version 3.13.4, nextcloud desktop no longer works when using a scheduled task or service. From what I've seen, it's because now, nextcloud desktop uses the windows authentication manager which doesn't work without a graphical interface. I've learned about nextcloudcmd, it corresponds to what I want, but it's missing one feature: virtual file management, like nextcloud desktop. Would it be possible to add this feature to nextcloudcmd? or what do you suggest?

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using nextcloudcmd, but virtual file functionality is not available

Additional context
report virtual file functionality to nextcloudcmd

the desktop client always relied on the secure password manager from Windows
if this is requiring specific setting to get access to it, this is out of scope for the desktop client itself
using nextcloudcmd with the virtual files feature makes no sense as using virtual files without an UI also makes no sense

could you explain what is your use case ?
I do not get why you would want to run the client without an user session but with virtual files enabled

We have a separate network with a server running the NextCloud desktop client, in order to synchronize a directory located on another network. We don't want the data to remain permanently stored on the server, but it remains accessible if needed. Here's the explanation for the virtual directory. Users can access this directory via a share on the same server. What I did:

• I configured the NextCloud client by logging in
• Once configured, I log out, then run the scheduled task, which runs independently with the same user.

This worked fine until version 3.13.4.

Hello,

isn´t a sync tool based on webdav more what you need?
