Bookmarks Not Synced
-
I have 5 profiles on Vivaldi and just had to do a clean re-install of Windows. All of these profiles synced my plugins properly but not my bookmarks. I did the same thing about 6 months ago without issue and everything popped up immediately.
I was able to login without issue, I've tried logging out and back in to my profile and nothing is working.
I did not check to see if everything was synced before reinstalling windows but I know it was synced at a minimum of about 6 months ago so for nothing to load seems like there is something wrong. I have a ton of bookmarks so I'm really hoping I didn't lose everything.

Firstly, if you're not syncing all data, make sure Bookmark synchronization has been enabled.
If that doesn't help, you may be affected by an incident that happened recently.
We had a very unfortunate Sync database failure back in December and as a result all synced data on the servers was deleted and everyone had to upload their data again. Only data from the devices you logged in on after December 21st is on our servers.
Go to Vivaldi on the devices you've been syncing with your Vivaldi account and make sure Sync is active there to synchronize their local data to your fresh Windows install.PS! To Sync 5 profiles and keep the data separate you need 5 Vivaldi accounts as syncing with a single account merges all data creating near identical profiles.

I just fresh installed window and I have more than 1400 bookmarks, your response worries me, I have all the bookmarks in my Vivaldi Browser in my phone, in my Android devices it appears "Sync: Inactive", once I use my encryption key it ask if I want to sync, will I lose all the bookmarks if I sync?
Or will it first upload from the phone to the server?
Just "sync" makes me think it reaches the server first and overwrite anything on the device, leaving me empty handed. -
Syncing will not delete local data. It uploads data from your devices and merges them on the server. If one device has data that the other doesn't, it will be downloaded on the other device.

@jane-n I think that explains my problem. I hadn't used android vivaldi in the last few months. I installed it today and signed in. I saw that there was no synchronized data.
