Sync (Google Sync / Profile Sync) missing on clean portable version (.zip) M111.0.5563.111 WIN64 about thorium-win HOT 11 CLOSED

It looks like the latest version (M111.0.5563.111) does not include Google Sync

from thorium-win.

I used the installer for a fresh install (M111), but it only exists for local accounts, and there is no button to enable syncing when I click on the user image in the browser.
After uninstalling and using the old version (M110), it syncs correctly, but after upgrading from M110 to M111, although the bookmarks and extensions are still there, the account also changes to local
It should be noted that the avx2 version of M111 Google Sync is working fine, which is really strange

from thorium-win.

Confirmed the sync works on the win avx2 build/version.
I'm switching to it, because apparently it makes sense if the cpu supports avx2 and as I didn't know about that build, it classifies as an acceptable workaround in my case. Thank you. ps. Feel free to ping me for a 112 test, apart from that, I'll mute the thread. Cheers.

Local testing cannot reproduce the problems you are experiencing.

Please try to remove -disable-encryption and -disable-machine-id before trying to use the related features.

without flags and clean run same behavior.
Version 111.0.5563.111 (Official Build) (64-bit)
@gz83 your version same on win10 64bit?

I'm using Win11 x64, also, this version of Thorium was compiled by me and we have tested it before releasing it.
Please try uninstalling the browser and reinstalling it, then try using the sync feature again.

It's about the portable version (Releases / Assets / .zip), not the installable one. Running the cmd THORIUM.BAT

from thorium-win.

@maxwowpow

Has the path to the user data folder inside the THORIUM.BAT file been modified?

Also, is it convenient to provide a screenshot of the top right corner of the main interface and a screenshot of the chrome://settings/people page?

from thorium-win.

The path was not modified:
--user-data-dir="%~dp0%\USER_DATA"

tried a new profile / testing right after unpacking as well.
Is there a debug mode / verbose logging switch or similar?

You never know what env vars, reg keys, firewall settings are being checked. There must be some if's in the code to show the sync button.

Sync is available on my end, you can check the other issue I linked to inside this one.

Also, the thorium development team is preparing to update the repo to version M112, and we will investigate this issue during the update process.

@maxwowpow @k3bc999 Sorry guys, I actually forgot to put the API Keys in for that build. ANyway, the latest builds should have sync working.

However, note that the --disable-encryption seems to break sync because of security reasons. You don't want your google credentials just sitting in a plaintext file.
