How do I import Favorites folder into Chrome?

Okay, so I tried how they suggest:
  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click More .
  3. Select Bookmarks Import Bookmarks and Settings.
  4. Select the program that contains the bookmarks you'd like to import.
  5. Click Import.
  6. Click Done..........but under "select the program" it only lists IE and Firefox, which I do not use, and HTML file. I have the Favorites on another Chrome page (I maintain work and personal gmail accounts), and on my hard drive. How can I access it and import it?

you would need to export the favorites as an HTML file from Chrome before you can import them into another chrome account.

If you use a Chrome (Google) account, you can sync them together by signing in to Chrome with the same account. Then they both can be on both instances of Chrome at the same time.

save the gmail bookmarks as a html file
and import

I prefer to use an account synced to chrome and then all the bookmarks, saved passwords just sync to the new PC
look in settings

Okay, I did as you said, but it always imports the entire Bookmarks Bar with the Favorites as a subfolder. Tried it several times. To recap: two gmail accounts, work and personal. The Favorites folder is on work, I want it on personal. I go to work, bm mgr., and I see FOLDERS on the left, ORGANIZE on right. I select the Favorites folder on left, it's clearly highlighted alone; nothing else. Under ORGANIZE, I select export as html.....I switch to personal account, bm mgr., go to import html, I see the folder there. I open it, it's the entire Bookmarks Bar every time........help??
