I started off loving this - it was just what I was looking for. At first it was excellent oo once I got my head around the protocols of using only one login per device which forced me to change how I use my devices, but I lived with that. Now? I discover bookmarks disappear mysteriously. I lost a whole chunk of critically essential bookmarks created in another country (family stuff) and to find them again on Google when I'm back home in another country specific, not easy. But WAIT! THERE IS MORE. The damn thing does not sync effectively hence the reason above. I've discovered the last sync UPWARDS after a lot of work resorting my bookmarks, was way back in OCTOBER!!! SIX wekks ago. I cannot force an upload but I can do a manual download - of a SIX WEEK OLD DB??? I'm outta here. This is why I wait and explore before I rush in to hand over a penny for "premium".

Did I saw password??? Removing a group also deletes the entire folder. Thank god I knew to export the bookmarks before hand
Sounds great on paper, rather poor execution. Works on and off and is not very user friendly and intuitive. When you finally manage to get all your bookmarks into one folder, then you constantly have to keep an eye on it in case they suddenly disappear or reset to where they were before (if you moved them from folder to folder). Have lost many hours of work due to the hailstorm of malfunctions surrounding this poor excuse for a finished, polished extension. Only recommend if you have minimal work to do with it, and don't want to share it with multiple people.
For something with the word "sync" in the name it is incredibly bad at synching. Will it ? Won't it ? Will it kinda do part of it this time ? Your guess is as good as mine. I thought this was the answer to synching bookmarks across my various google accounts ..... actually it's just a very annoying way to waste an hour trying to get it work properly.
Seems like a good idea but I get an error when trying to login with Google Sign-In. 'The user has turned off sign-in in browser'. I'm not aware of doing such a thing and I use google sign-in for multiple apps in the browser. I'm using Brave Version 1.33.106 Chromium: 96.0.4664.110 (Official Build) (x86_64) Basically - unable to try this extension out.
Not suitable for any amount larger than a handful of bookmarks or team members. - while working on the synced folder with Chrome Bookmark Manager, it would randomly reload, making actual organizational work tedious. - folders get duplicated or vanish randomly while working on them. - when moving bookmark folders to the synced one, you cant be sure that everything will end up there; most parts just dont make it to the destination, but are also no longer at the source - support is non-existent. my ticket is now open for more than 2 weeks with 0 response. we will look for an alternative.
Main problem - it works for some time. And when you believe it is reliable and useful - it makes mess from your bookmark. It can mix everything, destroy directories structure, duplicate bookmarks and so on. DO NOT USE IT.
"You are seeing this error because you're running two Teamsync Bookmarks (TSB) instances with the same TSB account and the same Chrome profile. To prevent duplicate bookmarks due to having both Chrome Sync and TSB enabled, TSB only allows one instance to run with this combination. You can still activate this device, but the other device(s) TSB accounts will be logged out." What does that say? Doesn't synchronize other browsers?
This is a great product with a very helpful team behind it. I love using the free version at home and the group plan is excellent for a small team at work!
I just don't get it. This thing is so buggy it's unusable. And why are you taking up so much RAM and CPU? Doesn't make sense. What scripts are you running in the background? This thing can't even handle when I move bookmarks from one folder to another within the shared folder.
Simple, efficient and easy to use! Thank you.
This extension has an interoperability issue with Quick Tabs. Every time I save a new bookmark, Chrome locks up for 5-10 seconds. Quick Tabs: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-tabs/jnjfeinjfmenlddahdjdmgpbokiacbbb
Deleted several dozen bookmarks when signed in on a second machine. Why is the default behavior not to "merge" folder content?
Hi, Question for the Dev: Do you plan to support Opera and Vivaldi? Doesn't work fine on them and I would like to know whether I need to look for an alternative. That info on your website will be useful for others too. Thank you.
Sync is pretty much messed up. completely mixes up if there are 2 people working and sharing. Just lost several days of work after incorrect sync deleted everything. :|
This extension has saved my day more times than I can count!! I now don't have to worry about digging through thousands of emails (literally) to find a single link that someone had sent me. Thank you TSB!
TeamSync Bookmarks has been a very valuable asset to on-boarding our new employees. I can easily share helpful links to not only get them up to speed on the business but to help them be productive on day 1. The best part is that it's conveniently organize on our bookmarks tab so they don't lose the link in an email :) I love it! Keep up the great work, TeamSync!
A small learning curve when I first signed up but author has been attentive and continues to make this easier to use. Support ticket was responded to in a quick and specific manner and when the first suggestion didn't work the author was concerned enough to invite me to share my screen and walk him right through my problem so that he may thoroughly understand it and then solve it. I would have used this for my entire office 15 years ago if it had been around as it makes sharing bookmarks much easier than sending endless emails, half of which get lost or ignored. Today I use this for myself and one virtual assistant as a reference point for the work we do together. When I grow beyond 4 users I'll gladly purchase the pro plan.
Doesn't work well. It re-creates the bookmark folder (in a different location), and it doesn't keep it synced. The only thing this is useful for is to share a new folder of bookmarks with someone, but that's buggy and not helpful if you already have a bookmark folder you want to share.
can't sign in with google, clicked to create account and got long legal document, nothing else
Thanks for your immediate support, too!
TeamSync Bookmarks has been awesome for work and personal life. At work, I'm able to do research on a team and share resources with my remote workers seamlessly. Before teamsync, we'd have to send e-mails with all of our links or keep a slack channel going with a list of links. Now we can keep them organized in our bookmarks! In my personal life, my wife and I use it to keep a log of trip planning ideas. It's been super helpful! Thanks, TeamSync!
so far it is great for sharing bookmarks between me and my wife. a small free little extension like this makes life super easy for gift shopping. thank you so much.
This thing is a godsend. Not sure if it can ever sync to a Bookmark bar folder, but even if not, still worth 5 stars.
This is really a great little apps that saves us tons of time trying to transfer new and changing URL to differents sites. Another strong point: Lucas took time to listen and respond to our comments for changes/improvements. This is the way all apps developer should do. Thank's
This is great extension, allows me to easily sync and save bookmarks across the department.
The team that built this extension really understands the benefit of a share site. TeamSync is great for a small business that is trying to become more efficient.
Awesome product!!!
Love this extension. Best use case for it is when we're onboarding new sales reps to our app agency. Using teamsync, I'm able to quickly share all of our marketing resources with my team in one folder so we can spend more time selling. Would recommend to anyone that's running inside sales
My husband downloaded this and i underestimated how useful it is. we planned a trip and were able to easily share and organize all of the websites we used. we also have them saved for future use! super helpful!
