Research direction
Start by inspecting the Flatpak packaging and configuration for Spotify's offline storage location, then compare the selected path with the reported ~/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/cache/spotify/Data/ and default .../spotify/Storage paths. The issue does not name a file or test; done means downloads are stored at the selected location and the observed path discrepancy is resolved.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
When setting an offline storage location, the app does not use that path to store downloads, but instead stores them at ~/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/cache/spotify/Data/.
The app does create a bunch of folders at the selected path, but it seems the only file stored in the defined path is index.dat. This file is missing from ~/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/cache/spotify/Data/.
Sidenote: I think the effectively used path ~/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/cache/spotify/Data/ isn't even the default download path, which is .../spotify/Storage. At least that is what the application defaulted to after I edited com.spotify.Client/config/spotify/prefs manually.
