Hi
I synced my Win 7 computer and my Android smartphone : I selected Favorites and History. Favorites works fine, but for history I see the PC history, but not the Android history. I use Opera (not mini).

I guess that you will not be able to see one history list from one device in the other one but when you start typing on address bar you will see the pages you went to in the other device.

Or you can access from Sync.opera.com > history.

So as I understand, Opera for Android does not sync the history to desktop?

On the website it says clearly that Android should sync history with desktop.

I can see that the history list is separate on my Android and Desktop, which is not the intended result.

It seems to be syncing only the main page. So it syncs, for example, https://forums.opera.com but not https://forums.opera.com/topic/19942/how-does-history-syncs

Hm... I checked by clicking the link in Android, and then going to Desktop, but the history entry isn't there.
Also I tried it vice-versa, when accessing the site on the Desktop, no entry is created in the Android history.

EDIT: i just logged out from my account and logged in again, now it seems to work, some sites sync, some not, but now I think that because the sync is not instant it takes time for new sites to reflect. One of the sites synced after 5 minutes and now it does appear.

Thanks for info!
