You can share as many folders as you like; as you update your bookmarks and synchronize, your shared content is automatically updated as well. None of your folders are shared by default—only folders that you've designated will be shared.
To share the bookmarks in a folder, log in at my.foxmarks.com, select the folder, then click on the "Sharing" button in the toolbar (see the big yellow arrow below). In the dialog that appears, select the "Share this folder" button, and you're ready to go!
Think of all the great things you can start sharing with your friends and family: your favorite blogs, places that you'd like to go on vacation, or, like us, a sampling of our favorite comic strips.

Your product is great to sync bookmarks between two different computers.
ReplyDeleteAre you looking to add functionality to sync other personalised or customised information between two or more computers.
If you did, sync'ing website logins and passwords would be ideal.
These would have to be encrypted, but this would help a lot.
Maybe you would have to add a property field to each password entry to allow it to NOT be sync'ed...
Perfect, this is a great idea, now I just have to convince people I know to definitely go over to Firefox. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love you guys!
ReplyDelete:D
congratz for this excelent project!
Very good! Thanks
ReplyDeleteMaybe next time I will be able to share a folder with my bro (foxmarks user too) directly. I and he could make/rename/delete bookmarks in specified folder which would be common for both of us.
great new feature, i'd been awaiting that one for a while now.
ReplyDeleteone tiny improvement would be to be able to decide whether to share also subfolders, very necessary when you have tons of those and don't want to distribute tens of different links. sure you've thouhgt of that, may be coming soon, i surely hope so
congratulations and keep up the great work

Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI think that the current users of this proyect are the ones that are going to bring more and more people to it.
it work great with the beta version for firefox and this share thing makes so easy to link's.
I love it.
Great option, this will be handy with family and friends!
ReplyDeleteThis feature is great. Unfortunantely there isn't a way to backup our files onto a file on our desktop.
ReplyDeleteI want to give you money.
ReplyDeleteDon't get to excited folks wait till you hit the bug they never seem to fix which wipes out you foxmarks and demonplayground states there is now way to backup unless you export to a file on your Desktop.
ReplyDelete@G-Rover:
ReplyDeleteo.O;
@G-Rover: There is no bug in Foxmarks that wipes out your bookmarks. You're probably thinking of the Firefox 2 bug that can be prevented by following the instructions Mozilla provides here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks#Prevention
ReplyDeleteAs for backing up your bookmarks, that happens automatically in the Firefox web browser. See the page in the last paragraph for more information on that.
I hereby lift G-Rover's moratorium on getting excited.
Here's an idea how this feature could be made even more useful:
ReplyDelete- allow foxmarks users to "subscribe" to sets of shared bookmarks
- foxmarks will then display these shared bookmarks inside my own firefox bookmarks (e.g. inside a "subscriptions" folder)
- the subscribed bookmarks will be synchronized (updated locally) by foxmarks whenever it synchronizes my own bookmarks
What do you think about that idea?
Regards and thanks for one of the most useful firefox addons.
Great job Team !!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see one more feature added to this.
I have a folder structure (folder inside a folder and so on)
Currently if i share parent folder i can only see links which were directly added to parent folder.
Since its tiresome to manually keep on sharing every folder.
Can we have a feature which will allow us to share all the folders within a shared folder automatically.
Hope the feedback helped.
Thanks

Great product guys - I use Firefox preference and Foxmarks for all bookmarks. But for a customer site I visit, I can only use their computer and IE- my.foxmarks.com means I can get to all my bookmarks using IE - well done!
ReplyDeleteI love this ... Foxmarks is one of the most daily useful products out there!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered the web page function, and am excited to start using it.
Echoing a previous commenter's suggestion: if there's a trustworthy way to sync access to logons and passwords, that would be a super really great service. Altho, I don't know if I would ever trust it, actually.
New feature suggestion: It would be nice to have separate folders or lists for WORK and NON-WORK computers. I don't want to bring my complete list of bookmarks to my employer's computers. Perhaps a SYNC-ALL or SYNC-LIMITED logon. Multiple profiles might detract from Foxmark's elegance, tho.
This is great. But i am missing one thing. The ability to share bookmarks with other users.
ReplyDeleteIt could work like this:
If i marked bookmarks as public everybody that added me could access those bookmarks
Just wondering guys.
ReplyDeleteWill this widget be one that can be copied and passed around by visitors to a web page where it is embeded? Or can you restrict it soley to your web-page?
Also, any idea what this widget will look like?
I agree that some way of pooling 'marks between users would be a fantastic feature.
ReplyDeleteGreat feature...until I tried to save a folder that had multiple sub-folders. Without that functionality it is of limited utility. Maybe someone knows how to share all or most bookmarks....
ReplyDelete@jeff, @fletch: Good news: we're working on the ability to share sub-folders, including your entire bookmark set. It should be up in just a couple of weeks. Thanks for the feedback!
ReplyDeleteAny news on the status of ability to share entire bookmark set? This would be a great new addition to allow family members or friends to share bookmarks but maintain them independently.
