Questions about Synchronization in Opera 29

As I understand it there are two synchronization items in Opera. The first is Opera Link which is the old version and the new one in Opera Developer.
Is there a way to view the stored data in the developer version of Opera sync? I believe that currently stored information includes bookmarks, speed dial, and open tabs.
https://link.opera.com/ will display the stored information from the old version of Opera (which I no longer use).
Kinda related, but I am having trouble importing speed dials from my default browser, Opera Stable, to Opera Developer. How can I do that?

As far as I know you can't view the stored data as you can with opera-link.

If you are using windows, turn on hidden files, navigate to:
[Your user folder]\Application Data\Opera Software.
or
[Your user folder]\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software.
or
type %appdata% in the start menu.Here you will see the opera installations you have. Enter the one you want to import
from (for example opera-beta), then copy the file called "favorites.db". Then you
go back one folder, and then enter the folder you want to copy to, and replace the
file there.

Thank you for your information. My guess is that the stored information will become viewable in a later update, but it will be some time before that happens. That is fine with me. I really quite like the directions Opera has been heading in.
I am surprised that copying the favorites.db and/or favorites.db-journal did not import the speed dial settings. My guess is that this works for most people, but I am doing something wrong. Both files in Opera Stable and Opera Developer are the same size as well, which is a little surprising.
Still, you have given me some interesting things to look into.
