Have been having this issue with brave for an incredibly long time. The 'sync' option may as well not exist, since it doesn't sync passwords and the bookmark sync is almost completely broken.
Should disable the feature until it works as expected.

Same issue here while doing the bookmark move from my Android device. The change does not reflect on either of my Windows instances.

Edit
Oups, just found #2798 which I think better represents my case

in my case, I went throw all my bookmarks sorted them, remove unnecessary ones spend couple of hours going through more than 200 bookmarks, The next day I open the browser and it completely synced it with older versions from other devices. Lovely project but sad that sync is totally useless.
