Hello donq - YES !! - you've nailed it.
Works fine using full view - never thought to try that !
Became very brave regarding folder selection and investigated how to do it with total success - now very happy with the system.
Very much appreciate your patience and help.

Very sorry ! - Brain fade !!
To be specific:-
Synchronisation advanced settings on Desktop Opera for Windows are :-
Bookmarks (inc Speed Dials),
History
Settings.
These do synchronise with the Lenovo laptop on Opera for Windows but not with the Fire Tablet on Opera for Android.
Hope this is better info. Let me know if it still isn't enough.
Sorry again.

Good Morning
I have Opera installed on my desktop running Windows 10 and have sync set up on it for Bookmarks, History and Settings.
The other device with sync is an Amazon Fire tablet using Opera for mobile and when sync is connected everything works well and the required data is shown immediately.
The problem I have is that the sync on the Opera on the desktop computer keeps going off spontaneously from time to time without any obvious reason - except that it possibly may be related to when the monitor display has been in sleep mode but not necessarily when I have signed out of the browser. Sync on the tablet always stays on.
I can get it to connect again simply by clicking on my account icon in the address bar and then clicking on the box which relates to "synchronisation" - don't have to log in again or do anything else.
This is OK but there is nothing showing on the browser window to indicate that the sync has gone off on it's own and I just have to keep checking it when I remember.
Is this something I have done wrong and if so, can I correct it?
Thanks,
Daddybear.

I am not too sure how to log out just from the Opera Android app alone, so I just switched off the tablet completely and then switched back on and re-opened Opera.
I had entered a new bookmark on the desktop Opera whilst the tablet was off but this did not appear on the Android Opera when I switched back on - so no change there.
Have attached a screen shot of the Android Opera menu in case it might help you. Don't know why it refers to 'Guest' in the top corner as well as confirming that the sync is on ?
I have already logged in to my Opera account on both the desktop and tablet and clicked the 'connect' button on both devices.

@lI have just had this problem recently.
After an update to my Desktop opera for windows to version 105.0.4970.29 the message "Synchronization has encountered a problem" showed on my Opera account and the log-in was removed. I logged back in, but the home page on my Amazon Fire Tablet then showed no log-in just "sync off" and the icon for "Guest".
I have logged back into the tablet and the message shows that this has been accepted but still shows "guest" icon and recommends opening an Opera account.
There is no synchronisation with any of the data I have set ie. Bookmarks, History and Speed Dials where all these used to work perfectly.
Has anyone found a way to solve this problem please?
Thanks,
Daddybear

Sorry leocg there should have been two screenshots - the one with Bookmarks total 1903 is the desktop (Opera for Windows).
The screenshot here with Bookmarks total 1899 and live 1498 is the tablet ( Opera for Android).
You can see I am not very computer literate - please forgive.!!

No new Bookmarks have been synchronised to the tablet for about a month and there have only been a small number of very random History entries on various days since my last housekeeping clearout of History on 8th April - despite many entries on a daily basis relating to usage of the desktop computer.
Haven't changed any settings recently so can't check those.

Good Morning All
I have Opera for Android installed on my Amazon Fire Tablet HD 8 (10th generation 2020) but it will not sync to my desktop Opera for Windows 10.
Both versions are up to date and show that "sync is on" on both devices.
I have a Lenovo laptop running the latest Opera for Windows and the sync is working OK on that.
The tablet is Android 9 with Fire OS 7.3 and the Opera for Android version is 68.2.3557.64219.
Both ad-blocker and data savings are enabled on the tablet.
I have signed in to my Opera account on all devices and selected 'connect' on them all.
Hope someone can help me solve this.
Regards,
Roy.
Good Afternoon All.
I am using Opera Stable version 78.0.4093.184 updated today.
I have noticed that in my Programs and Features list I also have Opera Stable version 74.0.3911.107.
Is this version still necessary to be on my computer to enable the other one to run correctly?
If not, and I remove it, is there a certain way to do this without causing any problem to the up-to-date version?
Thanks and regards,
Roy.
How do I set up the Opera shortcut to start with ?
