Xmarks releases cloud-free version for Firefox profile syncing
by Lee Mathews Jun 8th 2009
Just because you don't trust your data to the cloud doesn't mean you
want to miss out on handy services like bookmark synchronization.
XMarks has just released a beta version of its Firefox addon that allows
users to sync their data to a private WebDAV or FTP server. The BYOS
version never communicates with XMarks' servers - except when opening
the "what's new" splash screen in a new tab following an update.
Since it's not talking to the XMarks servers, that also means you won't
be able to use the discovery features of the regular version.
This certainly isn't the first addon to provide this functionality -
Bookmark Sync and Sort started doing it in 2006 (though it's no longer
developed), and SyncPlaces does it as well.
If you're already using XMarks, however, and just want to move your
bookmarks to your own servers, their new addon is probably the way to go.

Update: Xmarks releases cloud-free version for Firefox is No longer Available (03-18-15). Here's what I found, on it today...

I like the Features of Xmarks Snyc, for Bookmarks. Because it works in both Firefox and Chrome. But, I find, it uses way too much of my Intel Core 2 System Resources. If uses up most of my CPU Resourcse and makes both my Desktop and Laptop PC's Unusable. I'm running Fedora Linux on these Computers. And Fedora, used less Hardware Resources, than Windows 7. I wouldn't even try using Xmarks in Windows 7. I use to D-Activate Xmarks. And only Activate it. When I wanted to do a Manual Bookmarks Sync. But, now, as of March 2015. I Xmarks, makes my Systems completely unusable, when it is running. So, I will have to stop using Xmarks, all together. Too, bad... Xmarks had some good features...

BYOS Edition 1.0 now available
Many thanks to all our beta testers for ensuring the quality of our new Xmarks Bring Your Own Server (BYOS) Edition! Yesterday we released BYOS 1.0 to the Mozilla Add-ons sandbox.
If you have been using BYOS beta, please upgrade to 1.0 by downloading from the Mozilla site. That will ensure that you have the most recent bug fixes, and will receive future upgrade notices from Mozilla's site. While you're perusing the page and trying out the new extension, please submit a review! We're also helping Mozilla test out their new contributions platform; any contribution you provide supports the continuing maintenance and development of Xmarks BYOS.
In case you missed the previous post on BYOS, please note:
Each of the above features requires the use of the Xmarks server; if any of these features are of interest to you, then please use our other Xmarks add-ons. And you're unfamiliar with any of the above features, you can learn more about it on our features page.
Thanks again to everyone who helped make Xmarks BYOS happen, and we hope our own-server users will find it useful! Please support each other and share your feature ideas in our Xmarks BYOS user forum.

We're also helping Mozilla test out their new contributions platform; any contribution you provide supports the continuing maintenance and development of Xmarks BYOS.
In case you missed the previous post on BYOS, please note:
- If you currently use Xmarks to sync with your own server and are interested in BYOS, you must first uninstall Xmarks (or Foxmarks) before installing Xmarks BYOS Edition. You will be required to re-enter your own server settings to setup Xmarks BYOS, but subsequent (infrequent) updates will remember your settings.
- If you’re not quite sure what it means to sync with your own server, note that this version is for advanced users only as it requires setting up your own WebDAV or FTP server to sync against. For everyone else, we recommend using the standard Xmarks version which automatically syncs and backs up your bookmarks free of charge on servers managed by the Xmarks team.
- Automatic backup of your bookmarks to the cloud
- Ability to restore your bookmarks to an arbitrary older version
- Sync Profiles (so you can have different sets of bookmarks on different computers)
- Web access to your bookmarks
- Mobile access to your bookmarks from your phone
- Sharing of specified folders with others
- Suggested tags when adding new bookmarks
Each of the above features requires the use of the Xmarks server; if any of these features are of interest to you, then please use our other Xmarks add-ons. And you're unfamiliar with any of the above features, you can learn more about it on our features page.
Thanks again to everyone who helped make Xmarks BYOS happen, and we hope our own-server users will find it useful! Please support each other and share your feature ideas in our Xmarks BYOS user forum.
