Hello,
I just tried syncing my PC(regular) and my Laptop(old) that I only use occasionally for work. Both windows.
Had to work on my Laptop for a while recently and wanted to sync all my bookmarks, passwords etc. so I had all the up-to-date data from my PC(regular).
While doing the sync I got the impression the way I did it would transfer from PC(regular) to Laptop(old).
I was mistaken…
It was not clear to me whhat way the sync would go apparently.
Now I “destroyed” my bookmars, passwords etc. on my regular PC and can’t find a way to restore it to the setting before the sync.
I left the sync chain but the old data is not showing up. Lost quite a bit because I work with the laptop maybe once or twice a year.
Is there a guide for restoring sync data?
And on the same note, would be amazing if it would be much easier to see what device will be the source of the sync. Maybe it is clear to tech-savvy people, it is not clear to me as a layperson.
Maybe even just a list where you can choose the “source” or something.
Would save a lot of head ache. Thanks
Just commenting to say that your method actually worked. Thank you so much for telling me about finding the bookmarks.bak folder. For anybody reading this, I’m on Mac OS and even though he talks about Windows, you just have to find the Brave software folder that it’s in your Mac OS. See this Brave article on how to find your Brave software file on macOS and then from there you can follow what he says.
You’re a legend. @CerealLover
I messed up BraveSync like the OP and was really scared that I lost my bookmarks. You just saved me. Praise forum helpers.
