In raindrop we talk about collections, not folders. So, yes, it makes sense that you can have a bookmark in multiple collections at the same time. Tags are something else, one thing does not replace the other.
I have set up collections depending on the type of bookmark it is (an article, a video), or depending on the context (toolbox, events, design references, etc.), while tags are just about the topics. They perform a different function.
Also, I have some personal collections and some public. There are some bookmarks that I need to have in both. Please!

I just came back to give Raindrop another go after abandoning it a long time ago. I think I left because I got frustrated with sticking bookmarks in folders (aka collections) and forgetting what I put where. I also felt the process of saving to collections was a bit time-consuming. I decided this time around to abandon collections altogether and strictly use Tags. I think that will allow me to save bookmarks quicker, as I find it easier and faster to choose relevant tags than it was to decide what collection/folder to store them in. Since a bookmark can contain multiple tags, it's a bit liberating rather than thinking, "should this go in this collection or that collection? Hmm?" 🤔

This would make a real difference. Relations in real life are not always 1:1, but 1:n.

This is my #2 absolute have to have suggestion, #1 being an undo delete button.

+1 Agree. Being confined to a single collection makes adding a bookmark quite angsty. A bookmark should be allowed to be added to multiple collections.

I also think that categories have more freedom of use through tags, rather than through folders. I give my thousandth vote :)

I hope this feature gets implemented soon. This would be a lifesaver to have like a hyperlink of sorts to have a single bookmark in multiple folders. The reason for this is many times I end up preferring two ways to get to certain things. For example let’s say I have a “PC” and “Tools” folder. I like to put all tools in the tools folder but also would like to put the PC specific tools on the PC folder.
Also can we make this feature work for both individual bookmarks as well as entire folders?

This is also very similar to the feature request for favorite tags.

Yes, please, please, please!
What takes you so long to achieve this?
I think a lot of people would be grateful for this feature.
I personally lose time and effectiveness having to do this, manually saving duplicates for each link and then... I even don't want to hav it as duplicates, it should be the same link into different collections.
Thanks.

Somebody mentioned using tinyURL as a workaround. A more convenient workaround is just to add an anchor link (e.g. "example.com#sometext") or a query string (e.g. "example.com?sometext") to the duplicate url you want to save.
So long as you choose an anchor or query string that isn't actually used by the webpage the page will be uneffected and Raindrop will treat it as a new bookmark.
