Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/466

Firefox: Version 73.0.1(64-bit)
Microsoft-Chromium-Edge: Version 80.0.361.66 (Official build) (64-bit)
Firefox is the primary browser and the sync option is set to be: always upload and overwrite server files.
Microsoft-Chromium-Edge is the aided browser and the sync option is set to be: always download and overwrite local files.
The xbel file on the server is complete, but the Microsoft-Chromium-Edge only shows contents of favorite bar in Firefox. Very weird!

Well, I found solutions in readme.md.

The server path: Mapping folders / Profiles

When using the nextcloud Bookmarks adapter, you can specify a 'server folder' in your floccus account setup. This is like the target folder of a copy or rsync command. While the local sync folder you have selected from your browser bookmarks will normally end up being synced to the root bookmark path on your server, you can change that to an arbitrary sub-directory, e.g. /Toolbar, with the 'server folder' setting. If you are using the WebDAV/XBEL adapter, you can do the same by specifying a specific xbel file in the settings.

This way it is possible to sync Firefox' 'Bookmarks Menu' folder to Chrome, which doesn't have a Menu folder out of the box: Simply set up a separate account for each of the main folders in firefox, each with a separate server folder, e.g.:

Fx '/Bookmarks Toolbar' <=> '/Toolbar'
Fx '/Other Bookmarks' <=> '/Others'
Fx '/Bookmarks Menu' <=> '/Menu'

Then, in Chrome you can setup the folders as follows:

GC '/Bookmarks Toolbar' <=> '/Toolbar'
GC '/Bookmarks Toolbar/Menu' <=> '/Menu' (You need to create this folder yourself, of course.)
GC '/Other Bookmarks' <=> '/Others'
