About Me: I'm a freelance web developer that specializes in WordPress Themes and plugin development. I've written about some of my projects here.
After setting up dropbox to sync 1password I thought “why not bookmarks?”. Well, OS X makes it easy.
What I’ve done is sym link the bookmark.plist and histroy.plist to drop box. Symbolic links work like this in the terminal,
ln -s [TARGET DIRECTORY OR FILE] [SHORTCUT]
Here are the two easy steps I used to sync Safari Bookmarks and History.
$ cd ~/Library/Safari/
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/Safari/Bookmarks.plist Bookmarks.plist
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/Safari/History.plist History.plist
Here’s a screenshot of the result.
To Sync, since it wont be done automatically. Just restart your browser.
Warning: I haven’t tested this extensively but it seems to work great. After a day on my work computer I just come home to restart webkit, the bookmarks then are updated..
