Describe the bug
I choose a local bookmarks folder in Floccus and when I sync, the file bookmarks.xbel is exactly created on the WebDAV server, but if I close and restart the browser, and then resync, the bookmarks in my local folder are removed.

  • Browser Chrome (native sync disabled)
  • Browser Version 83.0.4103.97
  • Floccus version: 4.1.0

Hello @ajkain
I'm sorry for your troubles. I will try to troubleshoot with your help.

It seems that either the file is not where floccus thinks it is or it is empty. Can you verify the the XBEL file exists at bookmarks/bookmarks.xbel as well as the file's contents?

The file is in /bookmarks folder on the webdav server and it's not empty.
I have uploaded it at your private url.
Thanks

Does this only happen, when you close and restart the browser?

What happens when you curl -u "username:password" <yourserver>/bookmarks/bookmarks.xbel?

I have identified a possible cause for this. What's the http status code for this request: curl -vv -u "username:password" <yourserver>/bookmarks/bookmarks.xbel

It seems like your server deletes the file 🤔

@ajkain Can you verify this? Is this solved? Otherwise, you could also give me a test account on your server to do some debugging.

The server didn't delete the file, anyway I gave up. Now I'm using another server (webdav.yandex.com) and it works like a charm. I hope it lasts.
