Hi everyone :
I'm so excited to notice that the sycn function has been done!
But I just met another problem about the flash player and cannot enjoy it yet.

I've installed pepperflashplugin, the Shockwave plugin works fine with Chromium, but does not work with Opera.
Also, I downloaded adobe flash player (.tar.gz) and have libflashplayer.so file already，but cannot figure out a a way to install this plugin.
I tried to move it to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera and other places, non of them works.
When I check installed plugins from "Developer Tools" -> “Plug-ins”, only the old shockwave plugin is there.
If anyone can help me solve the flash problem, I'll really appreciate.

I use opera 28 on my ubuntu machine, and the detail info is as below :

Have you installed the pepperflashplugin-nonfree package? If not, try to apt-get it and then run this command: sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install. Then restart Opera.

If that doesn't work, try to install this package: flashplugin-installer, and then restart Opera.

I should also mention that your manual installation does not work because Opera only looks in these folders: https://forums.opera.com/topic/5890/where-does-your-distro-install-pepper-flash/9
