Which Storage Services Can Floccus Sync Bookmarks With?

Floccus can sync bookmarks through seven storage backends: the Nextcloud Bookmarks app, Linkwarden, Karakeep, a WebDAV share, Git over HTTPS, Google Drive, and Dropbox. OneDrive is listed as planned but not yet available. The right choice depends on whether you want self-hosting, version history, or the least setup work — and on which bookmark formats and features you need, since the backends differ in format support, end-to-end encryption, and order preservation.

Supported backends at a glance

A few notes on reading this table:

• E2EE means end-to-end encryption. The checkmark in parentheses for WebDAV, Google Drive, and Dropbox indicates the feature is available but conditional — for the file-based backends it depends on the storage format and setup rather than being automatic.
• Keeps order is marked ✅ for every backend, so bookmark ordering is not a differentiator.
• OneDrive appears in the feature matrix as "planned." It is not a usable option yet, so don't plan a setup around it.

How the backends differ in practice

Self-hosted options: Nextcloud, Linkwarden, Karakeep

These three are apps you run on your own server, and they give you the most control over where your data lives. Nextcloud Bookmarks is the most feature-complete in the matrix: it supports HTTP/HTTPS bookmarks, FTP/FTPS bookmarks, JavaScript bookmarks, and data bookmarks, and it is the only backend with full end-to-end encryption support. Linkwarden supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP/FTPS, and JavaScript bookmarks. Karakeep supports only HTTP/HTTPS bookmarks among the link types listed.

If you already run Nextcloud, the Bookmarks app is the natural fit. If you use Linkwarden or Karakeep as your read-later or archiving tool, Floccus lets your browser bookmarks flow into the same place.

File-based options: WebDAV, Git, Google Drive, Dropbox

These store your bookmarks as xbel or html files. They are the easiest to adopt if you don't want to run a bookmark server:

• WebDAV works with any WebDAV share and supports the widest range of bookmark types in this group, including FTP/FTPS and JavaScript bookmarks.
• Git over HTTPS gives you version history for free — every sync is a commit you can inspect or roll back. It does not support data bookmarks.
• Google Drive and Dropbox require no server at all and support the same link types as WebDAV, but they are proprietary cloud storage, so "self-hosting" doesn't apply.

What Floccus does not cover

Two limitations matter before you commit:

• Safari is not supported due to technical limitations, according to the site. If Safari is part of your device mix, those browsers won't participate in sync.
• Mobile support is limited. The mobile app currently syncs to a folder inside the app, not to mobile browsers, and the site describes Floccus support across mobile browsers as "sparse." So the "sync across all your devices" promise holds best on desktop browsers.

Choosing a backend

• You want maximum privacy and already self-host: Nextcloud Bookmarks app — it's the only backend with full E2EE and the broadest bookmark-type support.
• You want version history and rollback: Git over HTTPS.
• You want zero infrastructure: Google Drive or Dropbox.
• You use a read-later tool: Linkwarden or Karakeep, accepting their narrower link-type support.
• You need OneDrive: wait — it's only planned.

Floccus itself is free and open source, with no ads and no data collection, and it syncs "and gets out of your way" — the storage decision is entirely yours.
