Save and Sync Bookmarks in Chrome through Google Accounts
By soumitra, Gaea News NetworkTuesday, August 18, 2009
Google Chrome now comes with a sync tool that will store your Bookmarks data in your Google account. Those Bookmarks will be available to all the computers that are synced to that account. This makes bookmarks some kind of portable and you can access them from any computer that you want which I have never seen before.
Generally, by bookmark synchronization we mean that the bookmarks that I have created in other browsers will be imported to that browsers and there is already an add-on called Xmarks to do the same thing. But this new bookmark synchronization tool assigns a new meaning with its latest Chrome Dev release 4.0.201.1. Here is how you can use the service.
1. Right click on the Google Chrome Shortcut icon and go to the properties.
2. In the properties window select the shortcut tab.
3. In the target box add ” –enable-sync ” flag and apply it as shown in the figure.
4. Go to Wrench –> Sync my bookmarks option as shown in the figure.
5. A log in screen will appear to log in to your Google Account as shown in the figure.
6. Log in to store your bookmarks. It will also sync your Bookmarks if you previously stored any.
