Originally created by @mort74 on GitHub (Aug 24, 2018).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/152

Software versions

Browser: Firefox 61.0.2
Nextcloud: 13.0.5
Nextcloud Bookmarks app: -
Floccus: 3.0.1

Steps to reproduce

Entered credentials and new bookmarks.xbel for bookmarks bar
Clicked "Sync"

Actual outcome

The first sync seems to have worked fine, I had a 60kB bookmarks.xbel on my server (which I luckily copied in time). Soon after, suddently all bookmarks in the bar were gone and the bookmarks.xbel was down to the core XML (XBEL tag and highestId comment).
Any tries to restore the bookmarks by restoring the saved bookmarks.xbel and removing (before file restore) and re-adding the account didn't work ("reset cache" option didn't make any difference), the bookmarks.xbel was stripped to it's core again.

Oh dear, if the xbel file is empty and you do not have them on your browser
your bookmarks are gone. Did you save them before you installed Floccus?

As written, I've got a backup of the "filled" xbel, but restoring the bookmarks with it didn't work.
If that's not possible at all, I still got the bookmarks on other PCs, and somewhere there should be the .json export I used to copy them, so no worries there. :)
I'd just like to keep my bookmarks after a successfull restore and future sync as well.

This should be fixed in v3.0.2 now.

@mort74 Note, that after installing the new release, you will need to tick the checkbox for "reset cache" in the options of your account and then put a copy of the old XBEL file in place.

EDIT: Also it's quite possible you will get an error, now. It could be due to rate limiting of your nextcloud or something else. If in doubt, post it here.
