On Android device, export bookmarks from GBookmarks to HTML file.<br />2. Move HTML file to PC (via GDrive or whatever's easiest).<br />3. Edit HTML file on desktop, adding tags etc. or adding more bookmarks from other sources<br />4. Delete all bookmarks from Google Bookmarks.<br />5. Move file back to GBookmarks/Export folder on Android device<br />6. Import file in to GBookmarks.<br />7. Sync<br /><br />All bookmarks now in Google Bookmarks and in the GBookmarks app, syncing on demand.<br /><br />It isn't pretty. It should be a lot easier that this. But it works.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695351587865823097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-60740425113031967122016-01-14T12:18:15.574-08:002016-01-14T12:18:15.574-08:00Same here....looking for solution to import Same here....looking for solution to import Weihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411681103620328356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-65303499692446040852016-01-03T19:35:13.573-08:002016-01-03T19:35:13.573-08:00still looking for a solution. i just want to sync ...still looking for a solution. i just want to sync my bookmarks across different browsers/devices by using the same google account.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947973808713917614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-10745562973627726742015-09-07T14:17:13.088-07:002015-09-07T14:17:13.088-07:00Quoting Dr. Seuss: "We're here!

Every browser on the market has bookmarking functionality, although some tries to appear more original and call them Favorites. <br />So, wouldn't it be great to converge to sets of bookmarks into one?<br />There are several advanced features Google Bookmarks already implemented (not in a best-UI way, perhaps), but browsers' bookmarks have not.<br />Google Bookmarks support labels. Labels are synonymous to tags or categories. They allow to assign multiple characteristics to each node and to search/filter by a characteristic. Firefox actually started to implement similar in-browser functionality called tags. It’s here, but it's not a convenient thing to use. Neither Chrome nor IE support it.<br />Google is in a unique position: it owns both Google Bookmarks technology and Chrome browser. Nothing should stop it from displaying that converged bookmark system in a Chrome menu – replacing current Chrome bookmarks. This way individual user's bookmarks still could be synchronized with bookmarks in Firefox or any other browser. This other browser wouldn’t know these are Google bookmarks and would perhaps support only part of functionality.<br />http://techlyric.blogspot.com/2010/09/to-converge-chrome-bookmarks-with.htmlВладимирhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331194583266302228noreply@blogger.com
