Bug Description

I can't import data from a old installation when connected to Cloud (using Google account).
Import works fine when not connected (whether local is selected or cloud while not connected).

How to Reproduce

Install AppFlowy
Import data from old directory
Old data has been imported in an dedicated section
Connect to Google Account
Observe you have no data at all (except demo data)
Import data from old directory
Wait a certain amount of time until message saying import was successful is shown
Observe your import there is no import
Restart, clear cache, cross your fingers
Observe data is not imported

Expected Behavior

Data is expected to be imported and therefore displayed in AppFlowy

Operating System

Linux Mint 22 ( == Ubuntu Noble)

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.6.9 (installed via .deb)

Screenshots

No response

Additional Context
