Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/243

I'm using two providers, and the first one, as you know, has the bookmarks app available. The second provider is a backup, since relying on one provider only is bound to cause issues down the line. This second provider does not have the bookmarks app available, and so I must use the xbel sync method for it instead. However, currently you can only set the sync method globally for all accounts.

Oh, that's actually not true. The selector in the main view is only used when creating a new account. I should probably make this clearer in the UI. The sync method of each account is displayed along with the hostname right below the folder name.

However, even if you create a second account, you cannot, currently, sync the same folder with two accounts. I have disabled this, because I fear it would entail a lot of unforeseen issues.

Oh, I'm an idiot for not noticing that. Is there no way to change the sync method per account after creation though?

There is not, because all adapters require different settings. Creating a new account for the same folder shouldn't be a problem, though, I think.
