Originally created by @enboig on GitHub (Sep 14, 2018).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/170

I left the "Server folder" empty for no prefix, and a "floccus:" folder/tag appeared on my server and only bookmarks with this tag are synced; and bookmarks added with browser get this tag on server also. Should'nt this option sync all bookmarks?

Browser: Firefox
Nextcloud: 13.0.6
Nextcloud Bookmarks app: 0.12.2
Floccus: 3.0.8

Steps to reproduce

I removed the extension, reinstalled it, and the problem continues

Expected outcome

If no prefix specified, all bookmarks should sync.

Actual outcome

Only some bookmarks sync.

Thanks for your job (and time!)

Hey @enboig

Am I correct in thinking that you have bookmarks on the server that you'd like to sync with your browser, that are not yet in the browser and have not been created on the server by floccus?
Bookmarks on the server are only synced with the client if they have a floccus tag, specifically a tag containing a folder path, prefixed by floccus:. This is because most people want to sync with the root bookmarks folder in the browser, but the browser doesn't display any bookmarks in there, so if any bookmarks on the server without a floccus tag were to be created in the root folder that would make them unusable. As a workaround, you could export the server bookmarks and import them into a folder of your choice to have floccus create a correct tag for them on the server. You can of course also create the tag manually on the server.

Did this solve your issue? (I'm working on folder support for the bookmarks app, so things will hopefully be much easier soon ;) )

So the idea is to export my server bookmarks, import them in firefox (inside my synced folder). Wouldn't this remove any tags from my bookmarks?

Floccus should preserve any tags that are not prefixed with floccus:, but it currently doesn't indeed, I just checked :S

Then the only way is to select all bookmarks on the server and add the tag floccus:
