Hi there, I noticed that the flag opera://flags/#side-profiles is still there but it seems it does nothing. I didn't find any way to have multiple profiles. It seems even having a different launcher doesn't work with opera one. Any idea?

@paulvern Are you using the --user-data-dir command line on those launcher.exe?

@paulvern And pointing each one to a different directory?

@leocg Yes, the new launch string is:
"C:\Users\Paul Vern\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" --user-data-dir=C:\Users\Paul Vern\Downloads\Opera Profiles\profile 1"I've tried also
"C:\Users\Paul Vern\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe" --user-data-dir=C:\Users\Paul Vern\Downloads\Opera Profiles\profile 1"Both of them don't work with a message saying that the privileges are not enough to access the profile. I've tried also launching it as administrator but it seems that's not the problem.

@leocg It launches as it should, with the original profile. It does not with the second one (called profile 1 in my example).

Hi, I am new to Opera and I am just a second away from switching from Chrome to Opera One. Unfortunately I really need the feature for multiple user profiles with cloud sync, one for work and one for personal. Do you know if there are any plans on the roadmap for an official implementation?

@dergolo Opera doesn't have such feature yet. There is a flag related to it, so I guess Opera may be working on it.

@dergolo Note that you can have multiple profiles now this way. And, you can use a separate Opera account in each to have 2 separate Sync accounts.

@burnout426 Thanks for the reference to the reddit post. I have read this before and will give it a try. The "manual configuration" is why I was wondering about an official implementation. I love how Chrome does it, asking which profile to use at startup and opening new browsers from external links in the last used profile.
Since @leocg stated this feature flagged, I will stay tuned
