Sync HowTo/Alternatives

[FALLENZ]

OK thank you

This message will stay, even after you become a member of the group. That is fine.
Try sync afterwards.

I managed to activate sync according to this solution, but unfortunately Iron don't save another accounts on Google site www.google.com. Please check the screenshot. I log in into these other accounts, but when I close the browser and run the browser again - these accounts disappears from this block. Any solution for this problem?

Please see:

It is possible to signout from Google sync without losing the addons. If you don't activate "Clear Settings" when logging out .

Did you deactivate "Clear Settings" for the account(s) in question before logging out, as mentioned? As I understand, leaving this function active will flush your settings everytime you close the sync connection/the browser.

This is probably thought of as a safety measure, so you needed to reenter login data all the time. Means nobody should be able to ''autoconnect'' to your syncs by using your browser without you knowing. You may have to choose ''safe'' (manual) versus ''comfortable'' (auto) syncing.

Sorry, it is so difficult for me to understand what do you mean. Can you please write me what I have to do to fix this step by step when I'm logged in google account in Iron, and it is sync now?

but here's the message :

You don't have permission to access this content

For access, try contacting the group's owners and managers

So what shall I do plz ?

Я тоже сделал как написано и ничего не вышло,

Я так понимаю ничего нельзя уже сделать,
уходить нужно из браузера как не жаль.

Starting from March 15th, Google will change access to it's own APIs like Sync for 3rd Party Chromium-based browser like Iron. Contrary to first news, the access will not be cut off, if the person who wants to test it is willing to do a little extra step (joining a mailing list). If you don't want this, you can of course always use one of the Google-Free alternatives listed below.


If you want to test the Sync from Google ("Sign-In"):

1. Go to https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.or ... staccounts with your Google Account:
2. Join the group
3. You can use sync

PS: After joining the group there will be no fancy message. You will still read "You don't have permission to access this content". Don't worry, just try sync, it will work!


If you want to use a Google-Free Sync/Password-Management Alternative:

Bookmark Sync:
EverSync: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... hmppcggdog ( an Android App is also avaiable)
Raindrop.io: https://raindrop.io/ (an iPhone + Android App is also avaiable)
Floccus: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... oednhnbjhg (Selfhosted-Sync via Nextcloud, WebDAV or Google Drive)

Password Management/Sync:
Bitwarden (bitwarden.com): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... hkandclblb (OpenSource, Cloud- or selfhosted)

Many thanks for the instructions, i was going mad for iron not to syncing;

i used the first method;

Can anyone help me with this problem or it can't be solved?

I had to remove folder "C:\Users\*YOURUSERNAME*\AppData\Local\Chromium" with all account data after uninstall Iron to fix my problem.
