Just experienced this with import on laptop and then laptop (MacOS) to Android sync. I had approximately 1200 bookmarks and not all of them made it to Android.

may be worth trying this on master to see if it was fixed by some of the recent sync changes that are not in 0.17.x

@diracdeltas identical conditions for 0.19.0 (1007e8c)

[diracdeltas]

on master, i tried syncing ~6200 bookmarks. around 6100 of them were synced. it's not always the same bookmarks that are lost.

correction to my prior post, the posts to aws have shown identical errors in the console and the same bookmarks in a certain folder i checked while testing were missing in both cases.

upon inspection of the exported html files, indeed it was shown that different bookmarks had survived the sync. 😄
