Describe the Bug

It just can't seem to actually read my bookmarks.

I have attached the debug log file here:
floccus-5.4.2-2025-01-11-full.log

I couldn't really see any reason to redact anything.

Expected Behavior

For this first run, I just wanted to see if it would synchronize to the file in the correct location on my google drive. Note: it did not get to the phase where it actually creates the file on my Google Drive.

I noticed that there was no button to use a File Open window to select the correct folder in which to put the bookmarks.xbel file. So, I just manually entered the path, within the Google Drive, to put the file. As you can see in the following line from the .json file:

"bookmark_file": "Floccus Bookmark Data\\Main_bookmarks.xbel",

Should I have used the full pathname to the file? Or, should I have simply accepted the default location of being in the root of my Google Drive (not my preference)?

To Reproduce

Simply install the extension. I exited all instances of the Chrome browser and restarted so that the extension was sure to be running cleanly. I have exported the .json of the configuration and will attach it below, so you can see how I configured it. Maybe it was just something in my configuration.

floccus.export.json

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus a few years ago, maintaining it ever since. I currently work for Nextcloud
which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
To continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way it is expected that you donate to the project when opening a ticket,
if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Hi @GrantRobertson

I'm sorry about the trouble. This has been reported before this week in the following issue, #1814 So I'm going to close this issue in favor of that one.

floccus.export.json

Important note: You just publicly shared the passphrase that you used to encrypt the bookmarks file as well as your Google Drive refresh token. :S I urgently recommend revoking access for Floccus to your Google Drive and not using the same encryption passphrase again. Feel free to comment here if you have more questions about this.

[GrantRobertson]

Thanks for pointing that out. I figured it didn't matter because I planned to uninstall the extension anyway. With that said, is there any way to simply delete that file, considering that you closed my ticket anyway?

@GrantRobertson I sadly cannot delete the file here on Github, I think.

[GrantRobertson]

@marcelklehr I looked around and GitHub has now created a virtual assistant specifically for deleting attachments to issues. Here is the URL: https://support.github.com/?q=delete%20issue%20attachment&search_origin=%2Frequest

Here is a StackOverflow thread on the topic: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33215211/github-how-do-i-delete-an-attachment-in-github-issues/33215776#33215776
There are other means to get the file deleted, if the virtual assistant isn't working.

Of course, there is no guarantee that I didn't just signal some giant bot farm to start pouring through that file looking for things that can be used maliciously. But, we just accept that we live in a society, now don't we.

To be clear: That Google Drive refresh token was just for your extension to use. Correct? You didn't store my whole Google drive access information in your configuration file, did you? (And no, that password is not my Google password. It was just a random encryption string, for your service.)

[marcelklehr]

That Google Drive refresh token was just for your extension to use.

The Google Drive refresh token can be used to create new files in your Google Drive, so I recommend revoking access to floccus. Removing the attachment is a bonus, I'd say, as once information is published it cannot be unpublished, philosophically speaking.

[marcelklehr]

It also seems you have to be the attachment uploader to delete it :/ Although I'm repo admin, I cannot delete it

[GrantRobertson]

It also seems you have to be the attachment uploader to delete it :/

That makes sense. I have already used the virtual assistant. It told me that it issued a ticket to get the file deleted. Apparently, that still has to be done by humans.

[GrantRobertson]

Apparently that file has already been deleted. I just tried to download it again, and got:
{"error":"Not Found"}

But, who's to say what bots may have scraped that file in the short time that it existed.

Can you tell me how to "revoke access to Floccus"?

[GrantRobertson]

Can you tell me how to "revoke access to Floccus"?

@marcelklehr I figured out how to revoke Floccus's access to my Google Drive. Apparently, the last thing I need to do is delete my account on Floccus. Not that I will never come back, but just to clean out any kruft, just in case. I can always come back later. I couldn't find a way to delete my account on Floccus.org. Is there a way you could delete that account from your servers?

Thanks.

[marcelklehr]

Is there a way you could delete that account from your servers?

This one's easy. There is no account on my servers :) It's only in your browser. If you remove the extension, everything is gone.

[GrantRobertson]

Sweet! Thanks. If I try it again, later, I'll let you know how it goes.
