Google-chrome – How to keep Chrome bookmarks in sync across accounts

bookmarksgoogle-chromesync

I use a couple of gmail accounts with Chrome: One for work and one for private use. Unfortunately, all my bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar are tied to one of the accounts, so when I switch to another account the new window does not show the bookmarks. I really only use the account switching feature to be able to easily log into Gmail and Youtube with my different accounts. I'd like my bookmarks to be common to all.

Is there any way I can achieve this without exporting-importing my bookmarks each time I add a few more? Ideally, I'd add a bookmark and it would show up in all accounts.

There isn't a simple way to keep the bookmarks in sync between accounts. However, it is possible to log in with multiple Google Account, albeit not on the Global/Browser/Profile level (which is what you are doing now).

In order to log in with multiple Google accounts, go to any Google site, such as accounts.google.com. There, you will be able to log in with multiple accounts (usually, there is something like "Add Account" or "Manage Accounts", depending on which Google site you go to).

Once you have logged in with multiple accounts, you will be able to easily switch between your accounts when you go to YouTube, check email, etc. Note that you are still signed in as a single Profile in terms of the Bookmarks, etc. As such, you will always be able to access your bookmarks and such regardless of which account you are viewing on the sites themselves.

For most (if not all) of Google sites, you can switch profile by clicking on your Profile Picture. As a matter of fact, that is also where you can add new accounts.
