I have a folder of Google/Chrome bookmarks that I would like to transfer to the phone's local set of bookmarks. I'd rather use local bookmarks on the phone because the folder of bookmarks I'd like to use is nested from the root directory (if you know what I mean), and it's sort of a pain to have to hit the folder each time I'd like to access the folder's contents.
So, is there an app that can simply copy a folder of bookmarks to the local set of bookmarks?

You don't need an app. You can do it in the settings for the browser that comes with the phone. Just go to bookmarks and view your Google/Chrome bookmarks.
Hmm. I sort of expected I wasn't being clear enough.
OK, in the default browser's bookmarks section, you have two subsections - Google account bookmarks and local bookmarks.
The Google account subsection always defaults to the root directory and does not remember the last-accessed subfolder. The root directory mirrors Chrome Desktop's shortcut bar. I have a folder of mobile-optimized websites. It is this folder that I would simply like to copy to the *local* bookmarks subsection.
The reason is that only then, by selecting the *local* bookmarks as default, all my mobile-optimized bookmarks appear in the root directory. It's simply about faster access, and I'd rather not have all my mobile-optimized bookmarks occupying my Chrome Desktop's shortcut bar.
Does that make sense?

I've got quite a few folders on my homescreen for bookmarks and apps etc and would like to change the sorting criteria of the items or even better sort them how I like so they are placed in the folder how I like.
Anyone able to do this or have any ideas?
Cheers
For Apps in a folder I have not yet found a solution.
For Bookmarks I am using the LiveBook app (a Live Folder). It will show all Bookmarks alphabetically - which is exactly what I want, but your needs may be different of course.
I have an Evo with stock OS. When I first didn't see any way of storing browser bookmarks into folders, I assumed I just needed to dig deeper. But now I've convinced myself that there is no way to create folders & store browser bookmarks into folders that are integrated into the browser. That really surprises me. I was able to do that in 2005 with WinMo.
Is there another version of the web browser that supports storing bookmarks in folders? If not - can someone recommend a decent browser that does?
I'm not talking about creating a folder along with all my app icons in Sense. I'm talking about folders that are integrated into the browser application - just like you would see in a generic web-browser like WinMo, or Firefox, etc. Would Opera or Dolphin fit the bill?
Is there a way to import a bookmarks html file into Chrome? I've been using Xscope on my other devices for a while and have an exported bookmark file. Xscope sucks on JB. I'd give Chrome a shot if it imports bookmarks... otherwise onto AOSP or Dolphin or Boat.

Chrome syncs your bookmarks with your google/gmail account. you could move the html file to your desktop and import them into Chrome on Windows or Mac and then it SHOULD sync to your account thus showing up on your phone/tablet
I don't use Chrome, but I do have it on my pc. I had imported all my FF bookmarks to it and don't want that many. I'll decided whether to delete them all and reimport the html file... I was just hoping there was an easy way on the N7.
I tried file:\\\mnt\sdcard\bookmarks.html and Chrome opens that file. But when I save that link as a bookmark, it won't open it from the bookmark (this works in Xscope and Boat). I may just do home screen shortcuts...
Make sure you sign in with your Google / Gmail to Chrome on your computer. Chrome will then automatically upload your bookmarks to the cloud.
They should then be available on your N7 under bookmarks / desktop bookmarks.

So this is a very quick and easy way to use your chrome bookmarks you've carefully collected on your computer but now your chrome browser ducks and is laggy. I have been looking for a way around most browsers not sure syncing chrome bookmarks for a while and I stumbled on this just today. So turns out if you have a second browser, for me it's dolfin mmm so smooth, and you place the Google Chrome bookmark widget on one of your pages, click one of your bookmarks, then it actually asks you which app you want to open this with and you can then of course default it to your browser of choice and just like that you can have a all your bookmarks at the ready for any browser
Another option is to export Chrome Bookmarks as HTML file (from your PC), put it on your SD card, and access it with: file:///storage/sdcard0/xxxxbm.html (or whatever path). Then create a screen link to that bookmark. Click the link and browser opens to your bookmarks. The HTML file is also easily edited in your explorers html viewer (or on a PC). "Most" browsers support the file:/// access (except Chrome).

Is there any option to copy any bookmark in Microsoft Edge?
I want to have some bookmarks both in Bookmarks Folder and in the Bookmarks Bar but it seems imposible. I want to have syncronized my Lumia 640 with my Pc, and have the same bookmarks in both. The problema is I am not capable of copy and paste...
However, has anyone know how the sync Works? Is it via OneDrive or Outlook Mail?, because when I change the name of a bookmark, or delete or something in the PC, the change take forever to take effect on my pone if does...
Thanks for your answers .
