Expected behaviour

• The Nextcloud desktop client should clean out all potentially sensitive data from the debug zip file contents
• The Nextcloud desktop client should warn about which data is contained in the dump
• (Additionally: file extension should be zip automatically, but there isn't any)

Actual behaviour

• The debug log / databases contain sensitive data such as email addresses, nextcloud user names, private server addresses, local disk paths (which include local user names), something called oc_sessionPassphrase, file and folder names in the nextcloud, file checksums, a user's online times, file modification times, ... basically everything except the files themselves.
• No visible effort has been made to obscure any of the sensitive data
• Nextcloud team requires that such a dump is included in any reports about desktop client misbehavior in their issue template:

  desktop client logs are a hard requirement for bug reports because we don't know how to do magic here :)

To be honest, I'm shocked. Nextcloud boasts itself of respecting and improving their users' privacy, and then this?
As a temporary fix, the requirement should be removed from the issue template ASAP.
As a near-term fix, the user data should be cleaned before saving as a debug dump that is supposed to be posted into a public place.

Steps to reproduce

1. Right-click on desktop client icon
2. Select 'Settings'
3. Select 'General' in top right corner
4. Click on 'Create Debug Archive ...'
5. Inspect resulting file

2 years old, and this was the first verbal reaction. Let's hope it doesn't take another two.
