      @jpvdbl And you can choose what you want to sync?

        Yes, indeed, I can, without any problem... It really shows as if everything is working, but it just does not...

          @jpvdbl So in opera://sync-internals, the board on the right is not green?

            the board is green, and it states that it is running, but data are not correct: f.i. on bookmarks it says that there are 311 to be synchronized, but in the general board online ("Your synchronized content" on the web https://www.sync.opera.com) it states that there are 330... (which is correct). Worse for the passwords: on the board it says there are only 23 passwords to be synchronized, but the real number (i.e., also stated on the web) is 259...
            Those 23 passwords are synchronized, but the rest that is on the web (the other 236) are not...
            So, the item is to get those 236 on the board too... (those other 29 bookmarks I could retrieve from my PC, but the passwords not, of course). Alternative solution would be to be able to download in csv the passwords directly from the website https://www.sync.opera.com directñy, but I ignore if there is a way to do that...

                @jpvdbl If it's green, then synchronization is happening as should.

                  @jpvdbl There isn't a way to get your passwords from Sync web page and, most probably, there never will be.

                    sorry, but it does not working ·as it should"; see the explanation in my reply of about 2 hours ago: the data of what is supposed to be synchronized are not correct, so only 17 of 259 passwords saved on your server are synchronized, and nothing else, and in the opera://sync-internals dialog it only mentions 23 passwords to be synchronized, and not the 259 that are on your server (and it does not even synchronize the 23, but only 17 of them), so no, although it is green, it is not doing a synchronization of the server data...

                      @jpvdbl The synchronisation process in itself is working, your Opera is accessing the server and is getting data from the server and sending data to it. That's what I mean.

                      Now, if there is data not being synchronised, it's a different issue. It may take a while for all the data to sync.

                        Three days later the result is still the same: opera://sync-internals keeps on telling me that there are only 23 passwords to be synchronised, and the web https://www.sync.opera.com/ keeps on stating the correct info, that there are 259 passwords to be symchronised... So there is clearly a problem with the connection on your server, since the whole package pf passwords seems not to be seen, and therefore not synchronised...
                        I have the impression that there is no solution you will offer us, so we should shift to another browser, I suppose, that does do correct synchronisation...

                          @leocg So that means that, trusting your application, I now lost all my passwords, and you give me no solution to recover them...

                            @jpvdbl Try logging out from Sync, remove the content of the Sync Data folder in the profile directory and try syncing again.

                            Before that you can try checking the Sync Node Browser tab in opera://sync-internals to see what data is being synced.

                                as far as I can see, yes: the Bookmarks I could recover them from a former install on another PC, but passwords were not there neither
                                After 4 days the situation keeps on being the same: website/server says there are 259 passwords saved on your server ti be synchronised, but your synchronisation tool keeps on reporting only 23, so apparently does not "see" the other 223 passwords on your server, which I lost...

                                  @leocg I am now doing the test you proposed: removed all the bookmarks and all the passwords that were on opera, and logged in.
                                  Now server-information says there are 401 bookmarks to be synchronised, and 260 passwords... But the panel on "opera://sync-internals" only is green for device info, user consents and security events ("Running"), but all the other items are still marked as "Not Running"... I will update you if there are changes, but panel keeps on mentioning (15 min. later) only these three items as running

                                    bow everything is in green "Running" in the panel, but states 398 Bookmarks (so rather close to the 401 mentioned on your server, but not all of them, apparently), and, now, 24 passwords and not the 260 that are on your server...
                                    The bookmarks are being put on my opera now (so, it is working there), but on the password chapter, only 21 are being put there... The other 239 passwords keep on being on your server, but missing in my opera account...

                                      @jpvdbl I didn't say to remove bookmarks and passwords, but it may also be a interesting test.

                                        @jpvdbl When you enabled passwords sync, you were asked to provide your Opera account password or your passphrase?

                                          on your latest reply: no, only the password was asked for, not the passphrase (which was never set up).
                                          on your former remark: sorry, I did understand it wrong; now I did what you asked, removing the content of the Sync Data folder. I will update what happens next (until now nothing important: only the three items I mentioned before (device info, user consents and security events) are running)

                                            Now, 6 hours after having deleted content of Sync Data folder the system does not run synchronisation, except for the three former items that are running on synchronisation, the other ones (passwords, bookmarks, etc) keep on stating 0, and not running...
                                            I suppose I will have to put the content of the folder back in order to get it working again?
