Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1021

I am trying to save the bookmark file in a folder (My Folder) in Google Drive.

However, it ends up saving as a file with the name My Folder/My floccus bookmark sync.xbel in the root folder in Google Drive.

Hi @afatac

Yep, that's a current limitation in the implementation, sadly. In order to get the file into that folder, you can let floccus create it and then move it to the correct folder.

I can't get it to work.
I created a file bookmarks.xbel
I moved it to Floccus/bookmarks.xbel
Then I changed the path in Floccus to Floccus/bookmarks.xbel, but it creates a file in the root again.

Is there no way to store the file somewhere other than the root directory?

Does it work if you keep the setting as bookmarks.xbel in floccus even though you moved it?

Yes that works. I made it and moved it after and everything is fine. And I can import in other browsers and on mobile.

I was able to get it to work if you use a ">". Instead of a forward slash.

For example - Floccus>bookmarks.xbel

This will create the bookmarks.xbel file in the folder labeled Floccus in your Google Drive.
Or you can edit the path later if need be.

just as a note: I just tried this on chrome and was not able to get it to work.
