Can you merge 2 sets of Google Chrome bookmarks from 2 computers?

First off, there are some decent solutions for keeping your bookmarks unified between browsers/machines that might make your life easier. If you sign on via Google Chrome and enable Sync functionality/settings, you can synchronize your own bookmarks (if you don't mind them being shared on the cloud). Also look at something like XMarks. andysayshi's point is a good one about taming your links, too - and maybe a good portion of those are dead, expired or no longer work. :)

That aside, for your current situation with two separate bookmark files that are local to that machine only: You can visit this page for a few general Chrome-specific bookmark tips. Note the section named "Use the Bookmark Manager". On one computer, as shown in that section, use the "Bookmark Manager" then "Organize", and choose the option at the bottom, "Export Bookmarks to HTML File". Save the file somewhere; with your volume of bookmarks, perhaps ZIP or RAR it before transferring it to your other computer (no matter how you do it, compressing it will save space significantly), then use "Import Bookmarks to HTML File". Chrome will maintain its own subfolder called "Imported" to differentiate, though you can drag, organize and move bookmarks all you want, later. I just tested this process myself with an HTML file that had two entries and it worked well. If you have any bookmarks that are overlapped, there are probably extensions/add-ons that will de-dupe for you.
 
Can't you just copy and paste like any other file/link/shortcut from the "favorites" file folder? It's what I did back the win95-winxp days.

Throw 'em on a usb and move 'em.
 
I actually thought Google automagically cloud-synced all your Chrome bookmarks, like Apple does with Safari. When I add a bookmark on one device, it is instantly available on all my others.
 
Trinket, Borg, Andysayshi
Thanks for the replies.

I got a laptop for Christmas so there is a limited number of new bookmarks on my laptop. I think Trinket's suggestion of exporting will work and if I can do bookmarks by date, I only have to go back to December. Ive heard about Xmarks, I believe I tried to use them but I ended up not using it.

Borg,
after looking, you cant copy and paste bookmarks as you suggested. Too bad

I did sync my bookmarks last week but I havent been signing into Google chrome. I will start to so the bookmarks can be synced.

Thank you

Yes, but as I wrote above ("If you sign on via Google Chrome and enable Sync functionality/settings, you can synchronize your own bookmarks (if you don't mind them being shared on the cloud)") that's only if you turn on that functionality and sign on within the browser. For instance, on my Chrome because I'm just using one device, I just store them locally on that machine only and don't use any synchronization.

Yes, that's essentially the technique I described above with the "Export to HTML" and then "Import from HTML"; same idea, and as you say, browsers have been doing this for a while. You can even edit the inbound HTML file (in a plaintext editor) to take only the ones you want - although some header lines in that file say not to be edited, if you're comfortable doing it and can clearly see the structure of each entry, you can remove the entries you don't want.
 
I exported the file to a document that is 290 pages. I cant be bother to go through all that.
I saved the document as is.


Ill start signing into my browser every time

Thank you
 
I tried Xmarks but there is no cut and copy in the online section so I decided to not go with it.

Ive been managing my bookmarks and I save the bookmark file every few hours when I was looking through them
