      Incident follow up.

      We recently done server upgrade which broke encoding of bookmark id. This caused bookmarks to appear missing and duplicates to be generated. Problem with missing bookmarks should be now resolved. Most of duplicated bookmarks have been removed. However bookmarks which were created between 30.08 and 3.09 could still have duplicates as that's when broken code was active and being deployed on our servers. To not cause any data-loss we decided to not activate automatic removal of those duplicates.

            So, what we need to do to fix this? We still have problem with doubled folders and sync problems.. Manual fix for user accounts for example? Or something like that?

                Mysteriously, with the system restart, synchronization fixed. Thanks for all guys who helped me and all of us.

                But still https://sync.opera.com/web/# shows doubled categorize.

                      As I said above, (both developer and stable version) bookmarks are still missing

                        @msb Hello! Just wanted to clarify, when you said system restart, do you mean rebooting the computer or just the browser? I'm still not getting my bookmarks synced unfortunately.

                          I had that problem too when I refreshed the sync page, but what I did was reset my sync data, logout and back in on both PC and Android versions that I had, then shut down both PC & Android browsers (not the computer or tablet). When I reopened both browsers, everything was working fine and the duplicate bookmarks did not come back. I would only do this if you have a bookmarks backup or already have bookmarks on either of your browsers otherwise you'll wind up with no bookmarks whatsoever.

                            Another update. Apparently initial fix for id's wasn't working properly and we done another fixup to this. This second fix for missing bookmarks was triggered manually for @msb and @berrram accounts. @berrram could you try to log out of sync and log in again to confirm that bookmarks appear for you again? If you can confirm this works this fix will be triggered for all users.

                              Just had to reinstall Windows again and dumb Sync is still not restoring my bookmarks. It seems to restore other settings, but does NOTHING with bookmarks. What a mess. Now I have to yet again copy bookmarks file by hand from other system...

                                        Just to sum it up. Current fix is live now and confirmed to be working. If anyone is still experiencing any problems logout and login to sync again should help.

                                          @anymar88 cleaned data from settings after that rebooting the OS. I am just doing a backup my bookmarks to my storage.
