I've been using Chrome's built in bookmark sync which seems to work well.

Is there a way to force Chrome to do the sync as opposed to waiting for the alloted 'sync time'?

Update: Seems to sync when I restart Chrome, so that works. Would be nice to have a "sync button" equivalent..

Did you change your password recently. That can mess things up I've found. – Andrew Redd Jun 19 '11 at 3:40

You'll have to manually log out and log back in.

In Google Chrome Options, in Bookmark sync section: Click: Bookmarks Synced -> Stop Syncing this account.

Then in Bookmark sync section: Click: Synchronize my bookmarks. And log back into your Google account.

"Last synced" should then be updated to "Just now".

Another way is to make a change to your bookmarks. For example, bookmark a new page a delete a book mark. This will force chrome to sync the bookmarks.

It saves your bookmarks in a special Folder in your Google Docs account. So anytime a single change is made, it is saved..."in the cloud" :D

Is this true? I've looked for a folder and don't see it. – CoryR Apr 15 '11 at 14:25
