Originally created by @lorddoumer on GitHub (Feb 6, 2019).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/227

Setup: latest Nextcloud, latest bookmarks-app, latest floccus on Chrome and Firefox

Just a question: is there an automatic way to switch from the tag-based Nextcloud adapter to the folder-based adapter?
When just deleting the account (and bookmark-folder) in my browser ans start from scratch with the new adapter all bookmarks are in one folder and serverside still have the tags assigned. Is there an automatic or at least less strenuous way to switch than editing every bookmark on the server manually (with lots of bookmarks this takes a lot of time)?

I manually created folders and reorganized all of my bookmarks in the folders. When I sync the folders are not showing up. Is folder based organization of bookmarks completely finished on the browser?

Ah, I should probably have a section on that somewhere.

The recommended procedure for migrating to folders is the following

Back up your browser bookmarks
Remove the active floccus account for your nextcloud in all browsers
Remove all bookmarks on nextcloud (there's an option for that in the settings)
Setup a new floccus sync account with the adapter that says "with folders" (as opposed to "legacy") in one browser
Trigger a sync run to create the bookmarks and folders on the server
Make sure everything is as expected on the server
Setup floccus sync accounts in all other browsers with the "with folders"-adapter
Done.

EDIT: The only drawback of this method is that the creation dates of your bookmarks will be reset, I think.

thanks @marcelklehr gonna try this as soon as I find the time to. creation-date is not important for me so this sounds like a good solution to me :)

sorry, did the process on Sunday night but forgot to give feedback yesterday: everything worked fine - the initial upLoad to the server took about 3h and got interrupted once, which might be the cause why one folder gots duplicated - but apart from that everything worked perfect :)
