Specify google drive folder path?

[mvevitsis]

How can I set this up so that my bookmarks files aren't in the root of my Google drive?

I want it to be something like /Floccus/bookmarks.xbel

Is this possible?

I second this question !
I try many options but nothing works
Thanks in advance

Currently paths are not supported but you can move the file to the desired location after floccus has created it (without changing anything in the floccus settings).

Hello Marcel I try that but floccus doesn't update it after... Probably because it doesn't know anymore where the file is located... Le jeu. 31 oct. 2024, 11:41, Marcel Klehr ***@***.***> a écrit :

Using firefox (132.0.2), I used floccus to create a bookmark file on my google drive. It created a file at the top level. When I used the google drive web interface to move that file to a folder a created (two levels down from the top level), I was still able to sync to it. And on a separate browser on a separate computer, I imported the floccus profile and was able to read in floccus bookmarks there.

So moving the file (to a different folder in google drive) "worked" for me. I did not try copying the bookmark file to a different folder.

Would it be hard to allow the full URL that you can get from "Copy Link" in Google Drive (https://drive.google.com/...)? Then one could create a folder and an empty .xbel file on Google Drive where you want the floccus bookmarks file and use "Copy Link" to add that when adding a profile in floccus.

Ideally there should be some sort of folder picker that shows your google drive, but I haven't found the energy to invest time into this so far. If you want, you can have a go at it, I'm happy to provide pointers and help if you get stuck :)
