unknown error when syncing large amount of bookmarks

I have several thousands of bookmarks but wasn't able to sync them. I always receive the error message: "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."

In order to solve the problem several times I reset the remote data but always receive the same error appears after retrying.

Also I exported the bookmarks and re-imported them (which replaced the existing bookmarks). Still the same problem.

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

In general bookmarks are not the largest part of the Synched data (History takes a larger piece of the storage).
