Brave Sync not working (almost) at all

Browser Support Desktop Support
1

Hello,
sadly I can’t properly sync Brave Browser on my Windows 11 PC with the other devices (Google Pixel 7, Xiaomi Pad 5).

After many attempts and browser data deletion the only thing I was able to get synced are favorites and nothing else, so no history neither extensions just to mention something.
By going to “brave://sync-internals” I see an HTTP 504 error for “Download Step result” section.

It sounds like a server problem and, as mentioned below, I’m using the latest Brave Browser release.
I never had similar issues in past, the biggest ones were related to little sync delay.

Please help me to to fix the issue.
Thanks in advance.

Brave version: 1.65.114

@Mattches tagging you in here as we were recently discussing this. So I guess yet another person.

We are having known Sync sever issues at this time. The team is aware of the issue and working to resolve it.

Appreciate your patience.

It’s working OK now. I just successfully created a Sync between my desktop, phone and laptop.
Go to Settings > Sync > Manage your synced devices
You will see your other successfully synced devices + your current device (w/o an X)
I used the 25 word passphrase and selected Sync Everything under Sync Settings
After creating the new sync, close the browser and restart for it to become active.
