      Hi everyone,

      I recently needed to wipe my drive after my PC got stuck in a startup loop (tried 100 different things to fix before wiping to no avail). I put the drive into a different PC, backed up my Users and both Program Files folders to a drive before wiping. I have put it back on this PC now that it's working. Installed GX and signed in. I was thinking signing in would have brought back my bookmarks and pws especially with sync on with GX on phone but I'm not seeing anything. What am I missing here? I read that it could be in AppData/Roaming but despite the backup having AppData it doesn't have a roaming folder just Local for which it DOES have an opera folder inside. Please let me know what I can do I had hundred of passwords and bookmarks before this it would be a shame to lose them. Thank you for any help.
