Sync new Edge favorites with IE

Steve Rugh V-FRROME 

Any update on this? With January 15th, just around the corner, this is a big feature still needing implemented in the new Edge browser.

I agree with ThiloLangbein and Senturion33 in that we use and see immense benefit of redirected Favorites folders that can be managed and accessed outside the browser in a very easy fashion. Edge (old) had the ability to turn this sync on and we LOVED it. A forced move to Edge (Chromium) without this feature will be a huge loss of functionality. Ability to sync to AAD profile is wonderful, but still takes away some of the functionality we are used to in our deployments in our school districts.

As FYI, the enabling of this (old) Edge <> IE Favorites sync behavior is documented in the following two MS locations: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/askie/2017/01/12/managing-favorites-for-edge-and-internet-explorer-in-windows-10-preview/ and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/deploy/available-policies#keep-favorites-in-sync-between-internet-explorer-and-microsoft-edge

I would think this (additional Favorites folder) sync feature needs developed before pushing to enterprise customers (which includes schools).

Thanks!
