Reviews & Comments of EverSync - Sync bookmarks, backup favorites chrome extension

As everyone else mentioned - now says "Sync Failed" & wipes ALL the backed-up bookmarks from the server. What a disastrous scam of a service.

Joining the "it's not working" chorus. It brings me to the Bookmarks tab and says "Before start syncing you have to select one of the following actions", I select Merge, and it acts like it syncs, but does nothing and the error does not go away.

Stopped working since more than 1 week ago.

Has completely stopped syncing, I see I am not the only one. Please fix, as it is a great extension. Thanks.

Used this for years but it just doesn't work anymore. Been buggy and not syncing for a few months but now it has erased all bookmarks on the server and I get an error msg when trying to reupload. Shame because it used to be really good.

It was great until today when I tried to download my speed dials from the server. I know I had server backups on there but the nuked them on my free account with Bravo browser. Normally I download the most recent server backup and overwrite my dials on different browsers. Unfortunately, I didn't have local backups on Bravo, just Chrome. On my Chrome FVD is still working fine. I hear ya big dog, "Just transfer your Chrome local backup to your Bravo". No can do, they won't let you access the "local" backup, they hide it. Fortunately my Chrome speed dials are still good, but I'm never going to sync again which is sad. My advice, use FVD but only make local backups and only restore from local backups.

02/04/2023, my bookmarks lost

I loved this up until recently, when my dials stopped syncing between my home and work laptop. Then my home laptop - my primary - stopped even showing my dials in the Eversync account, only reflecting the group names with zero dials stored. Then all of my dials at home vanished one night. I don't think the problem is FVD Sped Dial, since it still works as expected and if I manually import in my old dials they import fine, but the syncing is a complete hot mess that hasn't worked in like two months, and I've tried to message support twice and have never gotten a reply. Very frustrated with how unreliable this has become. Unfortunately, it means FVD Sped Dial is also not very useful for me without the syncing working.

Used this extension for years. Really useful.

dependent on this

Really very sad. I've been overly patient in trying to resolve many ongoing issues via email. I have tried to help the developer to figure out the problem with not only this extension, but the Speed Dial extension as well. I've provided screenshots for errors that are being thrown in the Chrome extensions manager as well from the DevTools console. I'm told that screenshots of the errors don't help. You would have to be able to write code to develop extensions such as these, so you would think it would be pretty easy to look at the errors being thrown and figure it out pretty quickly, But time marches on, and instead of things being fixed they just keep getting worse. I guess you get what you pay for, in my case nothing, but I feel sorry for those that have paid and can't get what they've paid for. Come on man...get it fixed or just pull it. It was a great extension along with Speed Dial.

does not sync anymore, any local backup/restore is not available anymore as well

A warning - I have a lifetime subscription to this dump of a service & even I get zero support at all. When I say "zero", it means any email is literally ignored. The biggest problem is that your account will constantly be logged out from the extension without your knowledge ALL THE TIME - which completely disables all automatic bookmarks syncing. This defeats the entire point of the service. There's no indication you are logged out, so unless you micro-manage your bookmarks hourly, you will be left in the lurch when the worst happens. This extension also causes weird web surfing behavior upon page loads, slowing them down upon first load. Just assume this is has turned into a spyware extension & remove it.

The extension doesn't show you where your local backup is, and after installing windows I thought I could restore from server backups, only to found out that server backups are for premium user. The extension developers want you to pay to restore your backup.

NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT!! I have been trying for weeks to contact ANYONE with regards to this extension and syncing speeddials. I paid for the premium version so I could always have my dials backed up and sync'd between computers but now it doesn't work!! I've used speeddial for years and loved it. Never had a problem until now. I would not recommend at this point for anyone.

It's OK... But trying to write to server can be difficult at times... Also, custom images disappear after restoring dials...

Sync in Google Chrome is FIXED! (At least for me...) So, back to 5 stars for me. They're the only way to sync between Chrome and Firefox left that I know of. (It would be nice if they actually updated their iOS app, though.)

Excellent stuff. Would be even more convenient if it came to Firefox for Android as well, but still great nonetheless. : )

It worked well, but doesn't work recently. I uploaded about 1000 dials to cloud, but it only downloads about 400 of them to other computers. Tried to uninstall and reinstall it several times and didn't solve the issue. No customer support.

Not working as of Jan 2023 update. Tested also another chromium based browser - same result. Firefox addon still works.

Works well for the long term. Well conceived and executed.

Excellent bookmark sync. Very pleased.

Just awful. I have dials on one machine, I just want them on another. It shouldn't be so hard. Help says to just click the "Download" button. This does nothing.

Fantastic! Works just as described for me.

The 10th December update has broken it. I realised after attempting to install it in a new browser. When I click on the Eversync icon, a blank white box appears, with no option to login. It doesn't appear to have caused issues to existing installations. Please fix.

This is so cool to be able to Save my stuff from FireFox on one computer and then bring it into Chrome on another and Edge on another and have everything sync'ed! And it keeps everything merged and Sync'd. I see reports of problems with sync which is probably a lack of adequate document perusal, I've used this since like 2010 or something and never had a problem with sync, other than being locked out of premium and Chrome and Edge no longer supporting Windows-7 Ultimate x64 SP-2. (Just ProductKeysOnline dot com, recommended) Thank you so much. I see no beta matters to report. Want 2023 to be the year I can afford to go full Lifetime Premium, such a good deal. If Win7ult64 support continues. My Systems and LAN are way to custom to switch over. I've written my own code, patches for the OS, scripts that handle everything and have a full set of tremendous software for them. Too entrenched I guess you'd say. Just click on the Blue Button in the Toolbar and follow directions. I just sync'ed no problemo. Are ya'll logged into your Google Account and everything? Now for Bookmarks it's a little trickier not much, just goto EverHelper and do a Local Backup not to the Server; That's all. Else {Uninstall and reinstall. Read the docs. Call support. Go Premium. Good luck. This should do it; (Click [Everhelper Account] after Clicking the Blue Toolbar Button, or goto it from Speed-Dial settings. Pardon my caps and prog typos sometimes, I use Camel Notation a lot. Obviously[code a lot];) } But while you're at EverHelper, be sure to check your Bookmarks TRASH bin and empty it so it doesn't eat up your storage allotment. Poke around in the Bookmarks Client Section and keep everything right. Don't exceed your storage, could be it, was for me. Emptying the trash brought it back down, way down. So everything is fine and dandy. htpps://everhelper.me/client/ is where you can manage your bookmarks, sort them out, move them to another folder, delete them. In Bulk! Open Them, add them, Copy them to FTP-Speed-Dial there. Click on the Speed-Dial Button up top to switch over and Manage that the same way. Now to do the Backup of Bookmarks and Dials to your Computer or Server, go to Speed Dial Global Options, with the Gear Icon, on your Speed-Dial Home Page (docked control box upper right of your Home Page) and Click the Blue Button, it may be Green. Then you'll see the Graphic Interface for the Backup to Local Options and everything like that there. (in the extension, which is way safe and very cool.) Alternate route mentioned above, click the Blue Button in the Chrome/Edge/Mozilla Taskbar and then click [ Everhelper Account ] button.

Was great. It now appears to be broken. When trying to load it via FVD speed dial, all I get is a flash on the screen and no accessible options. Shame, as it was a great program.

Absolute trash. It doesn't sync when I ask it to and instead tells me to install another plugin. Probably just a scam to steal data. Don't do it.

Does the pro version sync automatically now? I had pro version and it stopped working now I have the standard.

Works well until the issues with sync. Right now backup isn't working. I am unable to upload or merge dials to server. I checked everhelper.me and my dials had been deleted, all content within the group folders gone. Not the most reliable app.

We have been using Speed dial for years. Great interface for us older users that more and more rely on visuals to be productive.

I have been using this extension for several years and have been very happy with it. Saves me time and keeps my most important bookmarks organized. Also am able to customize the layout, font, size, etc. Does have a learning curve for using it and still haven't figured out how to update my email.

I was signed out, my password isn't recognized, tried the restore password, got the link but can't press on reset password button (tried to reset from different browsers)

Alife saver win a windows world.

The extension does not work in the Opera browser, as I cannot log in. There is no technical support to speak of. Eversync is sheer thievery.

I've used this for about 4 years, and in the last 2 years, it keeps signing out randomly on every device. Problem is, it takes you a while to realize, so your bookmarks get constantly desynced. And then when you resync with a clean download/upload, you lose things that you only discover later that you've lost. I think it's time for me to drop this and find something else.

it doesn't work, they cheat us

Zero help from you.

It does its job and does it fine. However, it's constantly signing me out on both Chrome and Edge, and every few launches I need to sign back in. The UI is also atrocious and very, very badly designed, like someone's high school project, but they don't have the knowledge to be taking any tech courses.

Sync gui is inconsistent. Sometimes it gives me option to over-write the server version; sometimes no such option. Navigating the extension app is inconsistent.

GREATTTTTTTTTT!

works great!

It is compelling to buy pro. If you not upgrade to pro, the speed dials, the most item, what you made pack up will not be restored. Only minimum number of speed dial alone will be restored. It should make it clear by the author that only pro will work.

This extension worked well in the beginnig, but after a while I was forced to install another one to be able to keep using it, so I removed it :(

THIS SERVICE HAS NOT WORKED FOR ME FOR OVER TWO YEARS. I HAVE REPORTED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO RESOLVE IT. IT CONSTANTLY UPDATE THE DIALS AND IS A RESOURCE HOG.

I have been using this app for several years and I absolutely love it!!!

Great App for saving all your favourite bookmarks and to carry it with you on all your devices. Simple, easy and customisable. highly recommended.

Exactly what I needed! TY!

great

The cool thing of this it was for free user the server sync to do quick and easy the backups, but now is gone

fantastic extension

Worked fine at first, then the plugin stopped working. It worked long enough to create a similar folder structure across all my compute3rs and browsers. Now it really doesn't serve much of any function at all since the browser plugins refuse to connect to my account.

Doesn't work in Chrome anymore

Didnt sync mine dials 3 stars only for dev effort!

I've been paying a monthly fee that was supposed to allow me to back up to the server. New computer, trying to restore, even after logging in, I'm being told I need a pro account. I've been paying them for over a year for nothing! Crooks!!!

Works better than expected. I like it !!!

I used it only for syncing bookmarks across browsers. Since they started requiring to install yet another extension for this to work I it became too much of a hassle to bloat in the browser.

Love it! Been using it in all my work. Small 'learning curve', but worth it.

No, thank you. I want no part of an add-on I have to create an account to use. Uninstalling.

This extension doesn't work like it used to. The options that are supposed to enable me to sync do not appear as shown in the instructions.

Something is deleting my bookmarks. I assume it's this, but I can't be sure because there's no log to tell me what's deleting them. I'll start with 750 bookmarks, and then an hour later, I'll have 250 bookmarks. I don't know that Eversync is the problem, but if it's not, I don't know what is.

Google Chrome is the worst browser. Mozilla is dead to me because they disabled Speed Dial without warning. I'm using a real browser in MS EDGE.

i loved this app, used it constantly, it was simple easy and fast. Since the changes it is so complicated I can't figure out how to sync, or make changes. You went from a great app to terrible.

Auto Sync doesn't work properly. I use 4 browsers and 3 computers. I use Brave for personal stuff. Edge and Firefox for work-related things and also Chrome. I have two desktop computers and one laptop. While in the beginning it worked, after a while I realized that in Firefox, Brave and Chrome I had many 10s of copies of all bookmarks. Interestingly in Edge I only had one copy. Fortunately there is an option to manually over write all server data so I uploaded the single copy to server from Edge and downloaded the single copy to other browsers. In theory EverSync exactly what I need, same it doesn't deliver. I will still try to use it in manual mode

great

GOOD one

Cross Platform, It is useful for me . THX

I have been using Speed Dial and the Eversync option for several years now and I don't understand the negatives reviews for such an awesome ext. It saves sooo much time, and not only that, can you imagine having to scroll thru 125o+ bookmarks to find yr favourite sites or yr most important sites that you actually rely on every day, each time you want to revisit them every day, it would drive me mad. I remember those days of either having to use bookmarks or having to retype the website address each and every time, and if that was the case today I think I would give up browsing. I have many many Speed Dial Groups, some with hundreds of Speed Dials in them and having the ability to right click on a website page you want to remember and revisit, add it to yr account in less than a second, to me this is a game changer, but please remember this is only my opinion for my uses. I am able to Back Up all my Firefox and Chrome Speed Dials and Bookmarks locally to my drive and also to the server for very Secure and Safe keeping, and on top of that I can sync all of them between both Firefox and Chrome quickly and easily. When I want to tidy up my Speed Dials and I do that regularly, I just log in to my Everhelper account, move and delete what I want to in 1 location and then with just a few clicks of the mouse sync them all again between both browsers, and I'm fully updated again. I mean seriously what is there not to like about this and if you don't want the Online Server Back Ups, don't use them, just use the whole extension which is Free for both browsers. So I have No complaints at all and It has been working flawlessly for all these years and to be honest I am so glad that they have a Server version online because I have lost my computer twice in the last 2 years alone and without everhelper & eversync to restore my Speed Dials it would of been an absolute nightmare in Time and Energy to try to first remember and then locate every single website in my speed dial list and set it up again. So in my case I am more than happy and eager to give you 5 Stars out of 5 without hesitation and thank you for such an awesome, efficient, fast, safe, secure app that works every day without fail and I am more than happy and willing to be a client of yours for life...period! ;) Cheers Kevin Borg Auckland | New Zealand

The extension requires you to pay for uploading bookmarks to a cloud. Had I known that before downloading it, I wouldn't have downloaded it.

Last week I would have given it 5 stars. Somehow with the Edge browser, the synchronization button doesn't work anymore. After pressing it, it shows a message that says I should log in, and then loads a page that says I'm already logged in, but still does not allow synchronization.

very well in mac edge and chrome.

EXCELLENT!!!

Google has sync with Chrome, but I think EverSync does a better job.

Excellent

great

Worked seamlessly first time I used it! Wish all apps worked like this.

Very fast in Chrome, fantastic job. A lot slower with a large database in Firefox--but still works well--just needs patience when syncing.

good bookmark site, interface could be more professional and there should be an option to backup bookmarks in chosen directory. The app preserves local backup in its chosen path.

AVOID THIS EXTENSION AT ALL COSTS - A few weeks ago I handed in my work laptop which I'd been predominantly using the past few months. When I tried to sync my bookmarks on my personal computer, I found that it lost all bookmarks I'd saved in 2021. Extremely frustrating... Literally just now, I was exploring alternatives to Eversync. I reorganized my bookmarks in Chrome and THANKFULLY exported them... after checking out some other extensions, out of curiosity pushed the sync button from the FVD extension. It ONE HUNDRED PERCENT completely ERASED some of my bookmark folders!! I thought I was crazy, but I was able to compare the backups I'd downloaded minutes before to what the app synced, and numerous subfolders had their contents erased. Absolutely unacceptable, it's one thing to not sync your bookmarks and another entirely to ACTIVELY ERASE THEM. Ludacris

lately not able to login into the snycronizer. Nothing happens on clicking the login button on the pop-up

EDITED. I previously wrote a scathing rebuke. I'm now retracting that and setting the record straight. I have no idea what happened a month ago. When attempting to sync my FVD Speed Dials the action was rejected, and I was directed to now pay for a Premium account, with only locally saved dials as an option for backup/restore. No more free server access. Naturally, I screamed bloody murder. However, today I clicked the Sync button (no idea why; just on a lark, I suppose), and damned if everything was back to the way it used to be. Everything I previously experienced was too specific and detailed (eg. it explicitly stated these things) to be a glitch, so if this wasn't intentional, I'd suspect a disgruntled coder or something (the "we were hacked" scenario is kinda old these days, plus they never claimed such, nor do their comments imply they were even aware of what I was talking about). So, a concerning situation, to be sure, but at least everything seems back to normal. I still think the Pro account is a bit pricey, and the descriptions in the side-by-side banners advertising each show server access as a Pro item, but that aside, this has still got to be one of the most useful pairs of extensions, --Eversync and FVD Speed Dial--, of all time. Definitely a couple of must-haves.

I Used to have 1000 bookmarks all neatly organised. I installed Eversync so i could sync them to my other PC's. I clicked on Start Synchronisation, 2 seconds later ALL OF THEM WERE DELETED. AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!

I love the extension. I give it one star for ZERO support. I want to change my email log-in. Can't be done in account settings. Ask for that feature so I don't have to spend hours (and ours) re-creating my speed dials. crickets chirping . . . is anyone manning the telephones? I'll gladly change my miniscule rating if someone would acknowledge my contact question.

clockwork so swell

I sent you a bug report for just about a month ago as a Premium user, but did not receive any confirmation that you'd receive it or any response on the issue itself. All I wanted was to synchronise my bookmarks between Chromium and Firefox, but instead your app created a lot of duplicate folders and then just put tens of thousands of bookmarks in the Trash folder. For me to be able to retrieve these bookmarks, I had to sign up for your premium plan, as the basic plan had a limit on the number of bookmarks I had... The auto backup feature was not of any sort of help at all, as the first auto backup wasn't performed until about 2 months into my usage of EverSync. So overall a complete waste of time and especially money, as I had to spend money to rectify a problem that _you_ had caused in the first run. I have bookmarks saved from at least 13 years back, so for you to just come in and mess it all up with no way of fixing it, even after paying you, and then not even replying to my bug report is the worst customer support of the worst app I've ever had the misfortune of using. Kind Regards

Awesome extension! It solved me so many problems... And it always behaves as expected. Waiting for the Microsoft Edge version (for now I installed it from Chrome Web Store and it works properly)

Great. I can easily sync bookmarks between Chrome and Firefox.

Why you remove free backup to account? Edit: now is ok. 4 stars ?

this extension was working fine after installation, but after a few hours it dropped automatic sync. totally disappointed.

best one

A great way to sync across different browsers. Also, my favorite feature is actually the duplicates finder...it works well.

nice

great software, and their support is great.

Using this more than 2 yrs,now from the last 2 days its continously showing the HOW TO USE TOUR DIALOGUE. Uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing fixed,other than losing my old speed dials backup. Going to say goodbye!

Don't touch if its aint broken. Features must be optional - not mandatory. I need to see my dials, regardless of your perception of the world. If I'll ever need to hide 'em I'll figure out how to create codes locks etc. Remove that stupid undying popup and return my dials on the screen. There's lots of alternatives on the market. And I am looking for one right now.

I love this, exceptional!!!

Works nicely! The bookmark sync works perfectly.

Very good extension to protect from losing bookmarks.

This is the first time I've used this extension but it is AWESOME!! Five stars isn't enough!!

Finally a way to auto sync favourites between chrome and brave browser, thank you!

I have just moved browsers and tried to restore my settings but am unable to log back into my account because you apart from my user name and password to use capture program which is producing unreadable numbers and letters. After 5 attempts I have given up. Will not bother with you again.

It does the job - good

Been using it for years and I like it.

love it, love it. only ONE wish item: allow sharing or embedding a folder of bookmarks via a url. right now the everhelper app stays on one url address only.

I use Opera, which provides a Chrome emulation for extensions. Having saved my bookmarks from Opera on another machine, I can see the bookmarks correctly stored at the server at everhelper.me, but when I force a refresh (overwrite local from server) on this one, everything in the toolbar past the first folder has the correct name, but a mish-mash of completely incorrect URLs. Some items that should be folders are single links. Others that should be single links are folders that may or may not have the right contents. It's a complete mess. DO NOT risk using this with Opera! I have absolutely no idea how to restore my toolbar to sanity, short of deleting this extension and copying the bookmarks databases from Opera on the other machine onto this one.

Works great as a replacement solution since XMarks went belly up.

so far so good...almost 3 years since my 1st use..and over 5 months this year installed this app on all my browser home and office...full package fvd sync + fvd speeddial + everhelper

I installed this on my Chrome and Firefox browser to keep my bookmarks synced between the two, and withing a week at least a third or more of my bookmarks were deleted. I cannot discourage using this extension enough until they figure out their issues. I'm just happy I had another computer I hadn't turned on in a couple weeks I could restore my bookmarks from its Chrome. Otherwise I'd be forced to pay these people $5 for access to backups they made.

Works like a charm. Some duplications, sometimes, buut minimum

Updating my rating. Thanks for the quick response nimbusweb/eversync team. Because of browser sync setting duplicate bookmarks were being generated. https://nimbusweb.me/s/share/3872564/rd5n866176c9czqv0iun

Thank you for a great plugin, Pass no heed on the moaners and idiots! :)

only ONE star! Wasted good idea. I wanted to restore my FVD speed dials on new device,. Omg! I never had to jump through so many hoops!! The best I can see is that you have to pay to restore.?? I mean, I get it. They have to make money, but $5 a month?? Seems a bit much when the average person probably won't need to restore that many times.. I still haven't gotten it to restore, 07/10/2020. For example, I downloaded chrome on my new device. I logged in to chrome, and in a minute, every thing was exactly how it appears on my windows tablet. it should be that simple. ? . . . . . not so with this failure. I'm out.

Couldn't even login

it's the best book mark sync extension i've ever used. it works on Firefox, Chrome both very well

excellent

It works as advertised... beautiful. However remember to turn off account bookmark/favorites sync on Chrome and Edge, otherwise the bookmarks begin to duplicate every day...

Misleading. Says you need this extension for something and then it says you need a pro account once you do. Everything has a catch these days and it's getting EXHAUSTING!!!!!!

It used to work fine but suddenly I am unable to backup my bookmarks and dials, the options are hidden for some reason (you can see the tabs for a split second) and this has happened in two different browsers, now it is useless and I am using a better alternative.

a+++

im looking for a replacement to Xmarks i feel there trying to have to many options just to sync browsers i would relay just like a bookmark sync between browser and that is it

Just what I have been searching for - synchronises across Chromes, Firefoxes and Opera Little in the way of themes and looks are somewhat antique but functionality is just perfect!

I use EverSync to synchronize browser bookmarks mainly in Chrome between home, work, tablet, phone devices. Excellent app, works flawlessly among multiple platforms (Linux, Windows, Android browsers).

זה באמת עובד

Good one

nice

outstanding!!

Eversync not working. Not able to sync, upload, download with any browser. Created new account still same. Everything goes to trash. Used to work great.

I hope you still read reviews.. looks like the extension failed after latest chrome update as I can't sync bookmarks in chrome anymore but in firefox it was all fine.

Make sure you have a backup on your hard drive!! Lost most of my bookmarks and then when I tried to restore, it said that was only for the professional version.

Hi, what happened to FVDSpeedDial?
