Sending/Syncing Tabs between devices not working

@dsent
Hi, don´t be one of the 0.1% user using more than 500 tabs and you are fine.
But I understand.
The bug report has higher priority and a developer is assigned.
I bet the Vivaldi team want this feature, it´s just a matter of time we get it back.Cheers, mib

@DoctorG uhhh, removed? And I was wondering why it's not working... Flow option in Opera works great so I hoped for an alternative here..
-
@Mido Yes, the Chromium core developers removed it; if there could be a solution then Vivaldi dev team would have re-adedd the missing feature.

Hello, is there any news on send-to-device option? Maybe adding workspaces to the mobile version might be a workaround to restore it?
-
@belenus No, As Chromium devs have not added this feature back to Desktop version, Vivaldi had not got it.
-
@DoctorG Thank you for reply. Maybe adding workspaces to mobile Vivaldi could bypass Chrome's missing send-to feature?

Hi, there are a lot feature requests about workspaces, check @LonM page for searching requests.
It seems sync workspaces has many votes, first for mobiles is > Add it.

Hey, there is a lot of off topic there.
I have hundreds of tabs to move from my android mobile to my desktop.
I wanted to do that with vivaldi native sync feature but not all tabs are synced, in fact, only those that are opened after sync feature has been turned on are synced.
As a workaround to not being able to add all tabs to bookmarks (which is already a workaround), you can move all your tabs to a stack/group and from here you will have the ability to select tabs, select all tabs, add all tabs to bookmarks. So from now, start opening by default =). -

Hi, really open tabs are not sync if the sycn feature is enabled later?
Did you check vivaldi://sync-internals and hit the Trigger GetUpdate button on both devices?
Sync need hours to sync all data, the Vivaldi team is working on a solution.
If this is not work I would call this a bug.
I will test this later.Cheers, mib
Edit: Disable sync, open 10 tabs, enable sync > Trigger GetUpdate > All new tabs are synced. -
@mib2berlin those tabs have been opened for a while but they never appeared in synced tabs on my desktop.
I finally tried to remove remote data, manually refreshed all tabs (swipping address bar) and manually triggered GetUpdate on both device and it worked, all tabs are now synced.Best regards.

@axiiom
Hm, I read reports the tabs get hibernated but I don´t use many tabs usually, maybe this is the reason older tabs are not synced.
Anyway, I am glad you find a solution.Cheers, mib
-
@DoctorG If there couldn't be a solution, Opera wouldn't not have Flow.
-
@Mido Feature like on Opera was planned to exchange data between Vivaldi devices. No timeline.
-
It seems that after update to 6.5 it is still possibility to send a website to another device, however it won't work on all devices and directions. I can share tab from phone to tablet, but that's all. When I try to send from tablet to phone I get message that it's only possible for users logged to their Google account. Sending to/from desktop doesn't work at all.

Hi, this feature was removed long time ago from the Chromium developers.
You can open synced tabs from other devices in the window panel, for example:
Opensuse Tumbleweed x86_64 KDE 6.2 X11, Windows 11 Pro, Vivaldi latest
HP Probook Intel(R) i5-8350U 16 GB, GPU UHD 620, SSD 256 GB
Miniforum-B550 AMD Ryzen 7 4700G 16 GB, Radeon Graphics
Xiaomi Poco M6 Pro, HyperOS Android 14 -

Android rarely works, Sync of used tabs is broken. Known issue. -

Yes, but not working send-to-device feature or lack of multidevice workspaces still keep me away from setting Vivaldi as a primary browser on my devices.

@belenus
I understand, which Android browser has multidevice workspaces?Cheers, mib

Multidevice workspace (which Vivaldi doesn't have) might be an alternative to send-to-device (which Vivaldi doesn't have too). However, there are other well established browsers like Firefox or Brave (also Chromium based like Vivaldi...), that have this feature, but they are at slightly lower level of customisation than Vivaldi is. Anyway, nobody's perfect.
