Import bookmarks in nested structure

Expected: When an import file contains nested bookmarks in several levels then the import should create nested collections.
Wrong: Currently all the nested folders import file are flattened to a single level structure.

I AM a paid Raindrop.io Pro user, and I cannot import into Safari or Firefox, from a Raindrop.io Export, and see the nested bookmarks. Everything is flat. Rustem, I feel I just paid and am now trapped to raindrop.io app, to view the nesting that I had in Safari. Is there a Pro export format that will preserve the nesting to Safari, Firefox, etc.? Thanks.

Tr: Do you still have the problem in Pro plan? I was thinking to upgrade to Pro too. But, if this issue exists, I will not.

You probably didn't noticed the warning about limitation in Free plan. It doesn't support nested structure.
To imported nested structure you need to subscribe to PRO first

Rustem Mussabekov: Honestly, for a bookmark manager, there is nothing "PRO"fessional about having a nested structure. This is a basic feature supported by virtually every modern web browser. A lot of folks who'd be interested in having a bookmark manager are likely already using a nested structure for organizing their own stuff. Charging for this actually deters me from using Raindrop at all.
If Raindrop wants to charge in some way for nesting, then maybe develop a feature that assists users in automatically developing a nested folder structure with groups based on the type of bookmark content (e.g., media, software development, etc.). The ability to do this manually should be free. It takes time to do whether one is using your service or not. I'd rather not be charged for it.

Gordon Irving: I totally agree with you - I was researching bookmark managers today & was planning to try Raindrop till I saw this limitation which makes it less usable than what I get for free in all my browsers. You might just about get away with this if the annual fee was relatively trivial (so you could just pay & not worry you might be throwing money away), but it isn't.
Won't be trying Raindrop then.
