      @leocg -- And how do you sync Pinboards using Bookmarks? I can find no way. I think you are wrong.

        @prston In opera://settings/syncSetup there is an option to sync pinboards and it is disable if you turn off bookmarks synchronization.

          I found links to my Missing Pinboards on this Opera web page: https://www.sync.opera.com/pinboards
          Or you can find your missing Pinboards via this link too: https://www.sync.opera.com/

          I restored my missing Pinboards by means of the procedure described below.

          You must be signed in to your Opera account with Synchronization enabled. Go to Opera Settings - Synchronization - Advanced sync settings then checkmark Sync Everything

          I think the latest version of CCleaner Pro wiped out my Opera Pinboards (from my PC cache). So, after restoring my Operal Pinboards, I went into CCLeaner Options - Cookies and found pinboard.opera.com and whitelisted that cookie.

              @leocg -- Your reply provided a good clue but did not provide the full solution.

                So many people and not one answer to where is the file where the pinboards are stored?
                Are you kidding me? What kind of support is this?
                I want to hear: "file in folder: "F:\Users"your account name"\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default\Bookmarks"
                copy to the newly installed opera application to disk: "C:\Users"your account name"\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default\Bookmarks"
                And you'll have your pinboards back.
                But there is nothing like that here! And I ask why? Opera must have it stored like that somewhere, and don't tell me it isn't. It must be stored somewhere, I don't understand why I have the Opera Software folder on my computer, why are there so many files and data there? It must be stored somewhere in them damn it!
                You can at least extract it manually from the bookmarks file, but it's a terrible job, I'll tell you that.

                  Is there any way to recover the pinboards that disappeared?

                    @prston This is the best solution, after opining all my pinboards they got restored, you just saved me from a catastrophe I love you so much (hopefully more ppl will see this so maybe they get it restored)
                    Your whole Opera account
                    Your Pinboards

                      Hi Burnie
                      Losing your Pinboards on Opera can be frustrating, especially during its Beta phase. Typically stored locally, check your Opera profile folder (e.g.
                      , AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable on Windows) for any cached data. Ensure your browser is updated and try restarting Opera to see if they reappear. For ongoing issues, reporting bugs to Opera's support or forums can help (opera.com/support). Backup tips for Pinboards are crucial; https://www.opera.com/features/pinboards consider saving bookmarks or exporting data periodically to prevent loss.

                        Hello All
                        I just was having this problem as well and took a little bit to figure it out. At least for me, my pinboards finally synched when I went into each one individually and clicked share. Then enable the "Share pinboard with a link option" and it finally popped up on the synch page and showed up on my laptop.

                                    I haven't managed to have a single pinboard last longer than a day before its gone.
                                    2025 now, apparently 3 years isn't long enough to fix this issue properly.
