Followed other "solutions" on sync but still not working properly.

I cannot get/find sync folders: "Desktop bookmarks" on android app nor "mobile bookmarks" on desktop. Do I need to create these manually???

My PRIORITY is to get sync mobile bookmarks to desktop. Vice versa would be nice but not absolutely necessary.

The only thing working is "request desktop site" where I can locate my open tabs on my android under "synced tabs" but as I said, I want to view my mobile bookmarks on desktop, so this is reverse of what I need.

Using most current version 42.0. Win 7, Android Lollipop Uninstalled, reinstalled android app. It says that it HAS synced. Interesting that despite uninstall/reinstall app that my mobile HISTORY was retained for the past month, but LOST all of my unsynced mobile bookmarks. :( PITA

Need help as trying to fix this is becoming much more work and trouble than manually saving each bookmark onto a memo and sending it to my desktop.
