Hello, Installing again opera on windows 11, I'm not able to sync the bookmark between my Pc and my mobile phone. It actually shows the sync as successful but when I do show bookmark bar it is actually empty. I use encryption phrase to protect the data. Is anyone have the same problem?
Thank you

@leocg no I cannot even see them there . It is completely empty. That's strange I have two computer one laptop and one desktop both are running windows 11. On the laptop opera works correctly all the bookmarks are there and also on my mobile phone opera app.
I don't know what happen I update opera and now all bookmarks are gone
thank you

There is serious flaw in the opera sync, I will unistall the browser , it's a pity because I like Opera. I was actually thinking to reset my encryption phrase for the Syncronized data but with no avail, the option is grey out on my desktop and on my mobile phone app. I don't understand what is the problem here, this should really be reviewed by the developer. Until then I will use another browser. Again it is a pity....
Update. I found the rese passphrase in opera mobile app, but altrough there is syncdata, the app tells me that there is nothing to be sync and doesn't allow me to reset the passphrase....

@dewjones I understand you, this is a really bad flaw paticulary if someone have the bookmarks of lifetime. Luckyly for me I have them on my other laptop which are synchronized and they are there even on my mobile opera app but not on my desktop from which I tried to log in again and try to sync again but with not luck. I'm pretty sure 100% that the encryption phrase is that one so no doubt about that. Firefox on this doesn't fail, I never notice a flaw on their browser. Again it is a pity opera it's much more faster than firefox and have chrome web store which firefox doesn't have but it has its own. I like many things about opera, from its sidebar to the look of it. So I feel very sad, I will try to recover the bookmark on my mobile app. On this I would like to ask where opera app stored its bookmarks I want to see if I'm actually able to import them on here. The stupid thing however is that it doesn't allow to reset the encryption phrase this is really the bad flaw since the app thinks there is nothing to sync

I have an update, now the browser deleted all my bookmarks on my latptop, which before they were actually sync and it is actually synching my desktop which had no bookmarks with the other two so I guess it will sync also with my mobile errasing all the bookmarks even there. I will unistall opera, this is really bad flaw and it should be really addressed ASAP. Until then no opera ever again

@boldy-82 Ok I solved the issue you should actually pin it up. It seems like that android hold the sync so what I did is:
- I use my laptop and go to opera.com/connect
- I went to my opera app on android mobile and go to the section syncronizzation and backup in the option menu.
3)I go to connect device always with android app
4)on PC a click on synchronize your data and it will reveal a QR code - on android opera app click connect it will give you your mobile's camera. Scan the Qr code and magic! You get all the bookmark of your mobile and they actually sync to each other
Of course this work only if you have bookmark on android app so who have them never use the sync option on Pc but use first android opera app to sync the PC
