Support for RoamingProfileLocation
Hello,
We would like to see support for "RoamingProfileLocation" like Chrome has.
We use this so favorites, passwords, ... is stored on our fileserver. Whenever a user moves to another desktop they still have their own favorites and passwords.
With Edge the only option is to move the UserDataDir (and move back the DiskCacheDir). But even then there is way too much data synced between the fileserver and the clients. This is especially an issue when working over VPN.
Anyone else having this issue, or a fix for this problem?
regards,
Stijn

Thanks for the feedback Stijn, we are tracking this policy and I have provided your feedback within the team.I have found some related posts requesting roaming profile support as well some time ago:

mkruger Do you have any update about this?
Like bin_da said, there are others with the same issue.
We also see that if the connection to the file share drops (laptop in standby, switching networks), edge crashes. When we restart Edge it is able to recover opened tabs most of the time, but it's not something we want to deploy to all our users.

No updates I can share at this time, but I will provide your further feedback and inquiry within the Edge team.
- I suppose we should support this Uservoice request:
