A few tips before posting:
If sync is not working, first log out and log in again.
If that doesn't do the trick then please submit a bug report with the following information:
username of the account you tried to sync,
error message shown (if any),
a screenshot of vivaldi://sync-internals and the Sync settings page on vivaldi://settings/sync/ can help or
click on Dump Status on vivaldi://sync-internals and send us the content that appears in a small box below the button,
time when it happened,
detailed steps to reproduce the issue.
In case you create a topic about your issue, please also share the VB number you receive via email here so we can quickly follow it up.
@hmazuji There are two passwords:
The one you use to log in (same as the one you use to log in here) and one to decrypt the sync database contents. Make sure you are using the correct password for each step.
Hi mib,
Silly me, I forgot step 1 of troubleshooting: update!
Updating Vivaldi desktop to the latest version fixed the problem. There are still lingering "duds" in the sync info (which is to say, there are search engine entries in the sync logs for search engines that do not appear in settings), but that's all under the hood and in practice I seem to only be seeing the desired engines on both platforms.
Feel free to close this topic.

Hi, sync work additive, you get a mix of bookmarks.
Sometimes I get double notes or deleted bookmarks come back if I start a device to sync wich was offline for a long time.

Hi, I am sorry but I have no idea why it not work for you.
I setup 14 tabs on my Android device 3 in a stack, hit Trigger GetUpdate and all tab are visible on my Linux box.
Some icons are missing but the tabs are all there.
I guess it make no sense to report this to the bug tracker, the developers have to reproduce it but of course you can still do it.
I would hope another user can test this.
Cheers, mib
I got my Sessions over.
Keeping my old Profile for the time being, just in case I need something more.
I had to relogin into tens of services. It was tedious work.
I am glad I got my Sync Tabs in Vivaldi now. Have tons of sites on my Android I need to check out.

Hi some user report issues with synced tabs between devices, I don´t have any syncing between Windows, Linux and Android devices. It need sometime a long time to get the tabs synced, 20 minutes or so.
It is not a setting cause this except you have disabled "History" in the sync settings.
May you look into a running thread about the same issue:

Yes, find the files "History" and "History-journal" in your backup and copy it over to your profile folder.
Location is: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default
Overwrite the existing files.
Vivaldi should not running at this time.
Cheers, mib
@felagund The use of multiple screens should not play a role here. Perhaps it's an issue specific to your platform, but then again, you were unable to reproduce it in a clean profile.
I think you could try refreshing the profile. Check out this guide for more information: Full reset of Vivaldi. Once you start with a fresh profile, try copying some of the key files (listed in the article) to your new profile and see if the issue persists.
