Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1650

Which version of floccus are you using?

5.2.0

How many bookmarks do you have, roughly?

5 tabs

Are you using other means to sync bookmarks in parallel to floccus?

Sync method

Google Drive

Which browser are you using? In case you are using the phone App, specify the Android or iOS version and device please.

No response

Which version of Nextcloud Bookmarks are you using? (if relevant)

No response

Which version of Nextcloud? (if relevant)

No response

What kind of WebDAV server are you using? (if relevant)

No response

Describe the Bug

If you have a tabs profile (e.g. tabs.xbel) and add it to the android app (e.g. via the export and import feature), and edit it on Android (e.g. share a URL to Floccus Android app and save in your tabs profile) it does not work when you go to desktop and try to pull it down. Instead you get an error, invalid tab.

Another problem is the android app only has a sync button, not pull down and push up buttons as far as I can tell.

Expected Behavior

I was hoping that I could import the tab profile into the android app and then do the following:

Share a URL to tab profile on Android
Sync
Pull down on desktop and have it opened as a tab

In short, I want to share a URL to the android app and then open it as a tab on my PC. Isn't that how it should work?

To Reproduce

Import a tabs profile to Android app, add URL, try pulling it down on desktop

Debug log provided

I have provided a debug log file

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Instead you get an error, invalid tab.

I could not reproduce this. Is it possible that you tried this with a file: URL? Firefox for example does not allow opening tabs with file: URLs automatically, which is likely the reason for the error you got. In the latest version file: tabs should simply be ignored without errors.

Another problem is the android app only has a sync button, not pull down and push up buttons as far as I can tell.

This is true. For simplicity reasons push and pull are hidden in the profile settings on Android. Could you open a feature request for this?
