Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/87

Software versions

  • Browser:
    • Chrome (65.0.3325.181)
    • Firefox (58.0.2)
  • Nextcloud: 13.0.1
  • Nextcloud Bookmarks app: 0.11.0
  • Floccus: 2.0.6

Steps to reproduce

  1. create bookmark as file-url (e.g. file:///c:/temp/test.html)
  2. sync
  3. check on other instance (regardless of browser)

Expected outcome

Bookmark should sync like http/https urls.

Actual outcome

Bookmarks with file-url are ignored. Also folders containing only file-urls are ignored and not synchronised.

This is a known issue as nextcloud bookmarks doesn't support file URLs for security reasons.

@marcelklehr Would it be possible for floccus to store file:// to nextcloud as filebookmark so that when floccus syncs it send to nextcloud as filebookmark and when it retreives filebookmark at the start of a url replace it to file:// on the client? Same could be done for javascript: bookmarks with jsbookmark ?

@TheDevFreak Frankly, that feels like too much of a hack to me. :D The possibility of a WebDAV backend is being explored, however, which should adding support for these URLs much easier. See #86

I am looking at WebDav which would do what you want, with Nextcloud and for
other servers.

This is fixed with the WebDAV adapter in the latest beta version. See #131 :)
