如果您是Google Chrome 的狂热用户，您可能熟悉与您的^{(Google Chrome user)}Google 帐户^{(Google account)}绑定的内置同步功能^{(syncing feature)}。使用Chrome可以同步大量数据，包括您安装的扩展程序、自动填充数据、书签、信用卡、密码、历史记录、设置、主题，甚至打开的标签页。

当然，所有这些都会同步到可以运行Google Chrome的任何其他设备，包括Android和 iOS 手机、Chromebook^{(Chromebooks)}或Mac/Linux机器。到目前为止，这在Internet Explorer 或 Microsoft Edge^{(Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge)}中还没有作为内置功能存在。

随着早前发布的Windows 10 周年更新， ^{(Anniversary Update)}Microsoft Edge现在支持几个非常有用的功能：一个是扩展，另一个是同步。到目前为止，您只能在设备之间同步您的书签和阅读列表，这并不令人兴奋，但这是一个开始。

目前，Edge仅适用于Windows台式机、笔记本电脑、平板电脑 ( Surface ) 和手机。Edge 浏览器^{(Edge browser)}也在Xbox One^{(Xbox One)}上，但目前不支持同步功能。然而，这应该会在未来的更新中出现。

设置微软帐户

要开始在Edge中进行同步，您首先必须确保使用Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}登录您的Windows 设备^{(Windows device)}。如果您在计算机上使用本地帐户，您将无法同步任何内容。

您可以通过单击开始^(Start)，然后单击设置^(Settings)，然后单击帐户^(Accounts)来执行此操作。

如果您使用的是Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}，您将看到您的个人资料图片和一个用于在线管理您的帐户^{(account online)}的链接。如果您使用的是本地帐户，您将看到使用Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}登录的选项。

使用Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}登录所有设备后，单击“帐户^(Accounts)”菜单底部的“同步设置”。^{(Sync your settings)}

此对话框将列出可以与您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}同步的所有单个项目。大多数项目与Windows本身有关，但您需要确保Internet Explorer 设置^{( Internet Explorer settings)}和其他 Windows 设置^{(Other Windows settings)}都已打开。

在 Edge 中启用同步

完成上述任务后，我们需要打开Edge并启用设备同步。为此，请单击右上角带有三个点的按钮，然后单击设置^(Settings)。

向下滚动^(Scroll)一点，直到您看到帐户^(Account)标题和帐户设置^{(Account settings)}链接。如果您没有在该设备上使用Microsoft 帐户，您只会看到该链接。^{(Microsoft account)}

如果Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}设置正确，您将能够切换同步您的收藏夹和阅读列表^{(Sync your favorites and reading list)}按钮。单击设备同步设置^{(Device sync settings)}链接将加载我上面提到的同步您的设置对话框。^{(Sync your settings)}

值得注意的是，您必须继续在每台设备上手动启用Edge同步 ，即使您的其他设备已经使用相同的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}登录。

现在，您保存到书签或阅读列表中的任何内容也将出现在您的其他设备上。您可以通过单击具有不同长度的三个水平线的按钮来访问这两个项目。星形图标^{(star icon)}用于书签，第二个图标是阅读列表。

还值得注意的是，Edge的同步速度不如Chrome快。使用Chrome，数据通常会在几秒钟内同步，但我必须等待几分钟到半个多小时才能看到数据在Edge中同步。不管速度慢的原因是什么，我希望很快能得到解决。

Edge的未来版本可能会支持同步扩展名、密码等其他数据，但目前它是有限的。享受！

Sync Bookmarks and Reading List in Microsoft Edge

If you are an avid Google Chrome user, you’re probably familiar with the built-in syncing feаture that is tied to your Google account. With Chrome, a whole lot of data gets synced inclυding your installed extensions, auto-fill data, bookmarks, сredit cards, passwordѕ, history, settings, themes, and even open tabѕ.

Of course, all of this gets synced to any other device that can run Google Chrome, which includes Android and iOS phones, Chromebooks, or Mac/Linux machines. Up till now, this hasn’t existed in Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge as a built-in feature.

With the Windows 10 Anniversary Update released earlier, Microsoft Edge now supports a couple of really useful features: one being extensions and the other being synchronization. As of now, you can only sync your bookmarks and reading list between devices, which isn’t terribly exciting, but it’s a start.

Currently, Edge is only available on Windows desktops, laptops, tablets (Surface) and phones. The Edge browser is also on the Xbox One, but the syncing feature is currently not supported. That should be coming in a future update, however.

Setup Microsoft Account

To get started with syncing in Edge, you first have to make sure you are using a Microsoft account to log into your Windows device. If you’re using a local account on your computer, you won’t be able to sync anything.

You can do this by clicking on Start, then Settings and then clicking on Accounts.

If you are using a Microsoft account, you’ll see your profile picture and a link to manage your account online. If you’re using a local account, you’ll see the option to login using a Microsoft account.

Once you have logged into all your devices using a Microsoft account, click on Sync your settings at the bottom of the Accounts menu.

This dialog will list out all the individual items that can be synced with your Microsoft account. Most items pertain to Windows itself, but you’ll want to make sure Internet Explorer settings and Other Windows settings are both turned on.

Enable Syncing in Edge

Once you have completed the above tasks, we need to open Edge and enable device syncing. To do this, click on the button with the three dots at the top right and then click on Settings.

Scroll down a little until you see the Account heading and Account settings link. You’ll only see that link if you are not using a Microsoft account on that device.

If the Microsoft account is setup properly, you’ll be able to toggle the Sync your favorites and reading list button. Clicking on the Device sync settings link will load up the Sync your settings dialog I mentioned above.

It’s worth noting that you have to go ahead and enable syncing in Edge on each device manually, even if your other devices are already logged in using the same Microsoft account.

Now, whatever you save to your bookmarks or reading list will appear on your other devices too. You can access both of these items by clicking on the button which has the three horizontal lines of different lengths. The star icon is for bookmarks and the second icon is the reading list.

It’s also worth noting that Edge is not nearly as fast at syncing as Chrome is. With Chrome, data gets synced within seconds usually, but I had to wait anywhere from a couple of minutes to over half an hour before I saw data being synced in Edge. Whatever the reason for the slowness, I’m hoping that gets resolved soon.

Future versions of Edge will probably support syncing of other data like extensions, passwords, etc., but at this time it is limited. Enjoy!
