Loading Profile...
Sync subfolders or allow subaccounts for several users in one household
I have read in the Help/Wiki about why Foxmarks won't allow us to sync subfolders, but my request is to allow us to choose subfolders (of 1 depth) under the main ones that we can sync to certain profiles we set.
For instance, I have a family of 4, 2 of whom are minors with no email addresses and whose bookmarks/favorites we'd like to monitor from any PC. Rather than getting a foxmarks account for each individual (especially for the kids), it would be nice to instead be able to create and choose folders geared towards each person/profile, so that only the stuff in those folders are synced to the appropriate profile.
So basically, under the "Bookmarks" main folder, maybe let us choose subfolders and which profiles to sync them to. Same thing with the Links toolbar folder. In my case, it would look like this:
-Bookmarks
- Person1Profile
- Person2Profile
- Person3Profile
- Person4Profile
---------------------------------------------
-Links
- Person1Profile
- Person2Profile
- Person3Profile
- Person4Profile
---------------------------------------------
-Unsorted bookmarks
Currently, the only other option is for me to have a folder in my main bookmarks that all of my bookmarks are stashed in, since I can't choose a subfolder... Or, I can have a million bookmarks to look at and sort through using dividers to group the bookmarks, and hope that everyone else doesn't get confused that the first set is mine, the 2nd set after the 2nd divider is so-and-so's, the 3rd set is so-and-so's, etc.
The other workaround for this is to be able to have some kind of subaccount under a primary one or something, that way each family member can have their own set of bookmarks (without requiring logins for each) and keep them synced to their own profiles, instead of what I do now, which is having to constantly pick-n-choose which ones sync to which profile so we're not all cluttering our bookmarks with each other's stuff.

Inappropriate?Thanks for the suggestion, and I apologize for the delay in responding!
From your description, it sounds like Sync Profiles would work okay if adding a new bookmark to a profiled browser would keep that bookmark in that profile by default, is that right? That's a change to Sync Profiles that we're considering adding due to user feedback elsewhere, so it'd be pretty spiffy if we could take out two birds with one stone.
