This means we need to get them all together in one place so we can sync them with Dropbox.Īccording to the link above, here’s where your bookmarks, history, etc. Opera 12 stores your Opera prefs and bookmarks in one place, and your mail in another. For more information about where your version of Opera stores its files, see Files used by Opera. Find your Opera folderīecause Opera is a pretty sane app, it stores all of its junk in one folder (with the exception of the Mac version, about which more below).ĭepending on your platform, you’ll find the folder in different places. You need to keep regular backups of your Opera folder, and syncing is not a backup. Remember, you should not be doing this with your only copy of your Opera folder. This means you can manually fix things if you have to, but you basically never have to as long as you take care to shut down Opera on computer A and wait until Dropbox is fully synced to start Opera on computer B. If it does encounter drama (e.g., finds that it can’t handle a conflict between two different versions of a file), it creates a new version of the file called something like “ autosave\ (glamdring2's\ conflicted\ copy\ ).win“, where “glamdring2” is the name of the computer with the conflicted file. In my experience Dropbox basically just handles file updates with no drama. For what it’s worth, I’ve been doing this for several months now, and have found that for the most part it just works. You may have some concerns about Dropbox’s file synchronization messing up your stuff. Link the folder from Dropbox back to where the app wants it If I have to reverse engineer where you save my settings in Opera now, then hack them into the other devices, well, I'll patent that process and add it as an extension myself. Then, I can log in, and select what I want to use for my speed dial settings by using the configuration I just saved. It's simple, allow for a export speed dial feature, have that exported "master settings" or "settings No 1" be saved in my wonderful opera account you allowed me to create so you can track my shit. I've arranged my speed dials, selected, added them. Oh, I have five or so devices/computers, and I prefer browsing using opera. I don't trust this "syncrhonization" crap you've offered, which apparently I wouldn't claim as one of my products to be honest with you. I love the Vivaldi browser but decided to use Opera because, other than attempting toĬopy directories between the machines constantly, there was no way to sync Vivaldi.Īnd syncing is one of Opera's selling points.Ĭould someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong (and where I could have foundįeature Needed: Speed Dial Workspace Settings save feature (to then import/save) in my Opera account for applying to all my devices - Manually.

I have been searching the documentation/FYI's for about two hours now and have found no solution "Opera for computers: bookmarks, tabs, Speed Dial, settings, history, and passwords." The documentation says Opera should sync: They are both running Opera 42.0, and the "Signed in as:" line on the "O menu" drop-downs onīoth computers refer to the same, correct, e-mail account. On the same network, they are in the same room, about 6 feet apart. The computers are both running Win 7 Pro.
