Flow only connects two Android devices

Flow works only between two Android devices and not between Android and Windows. Additionally, it is limited to connecting only two devices. A serious limitation that the Opera developers will have to address!

@bopi I have Flow connecting my Opera for desktops (Windows) and my Opera for Android.

@leocg The connection succeeds because Windows confirms it. However, Android Opera repeatedly asks for registration again and again. I tried to connect with three Android phones using the desktop Opera (Windows 10), but the issue persists. I managed to connect Flow with two Android phones, but adding an additional Android phone or desktop Opera is not possible as it reports that the connection is busy.

Open My Flow. In the left side pane of Opera, you'll see what looks like a Star Trek badge on its side.
Reveal the QR code. In the My Flow pane, click "Reveal the QR code."
Scan the QR code.
Connect your devices.
Configure what to sync.

Hope this helps.

@jimmywalter Thank you for the advice. I followed the same steps, and the connection works only between two Android phones. However, I can't add a third one because the connection is occupied, as reported by Android Opera. Furthermore, when I connect to Opera on desktop (Windows 10) using the procedure you described, the authorization on Windows 10 is successfully confirmed, but in Android Opera, it repeatedly asks for authorization from Windows

@rejgod98 Do it differently. Start the connection to the other device (Opera for Windows) in Opera Android (not as you are trying from Windows). Opera on the smartphone will prompt you to open opera.com/connect and so do and the next steps connect both devices seamlessly.

@leocg I have a similar Problem. I've had no problem connecting before. My phone reads the QR code, I then have to log in to my account, the usual code check does not appear on my Windows*, I can then add a page from my Windows machine, My android acknowledges the shared page, but then there are no connections on my Windows machine, amd I have to start the process again.

• It's been a while since I had to reconnect devices so if I remember right, a code appears on both devices to check the connection.

@rob-b Based on user experiences, it seems to be a bug. The moderator should notify the developers to check the connectivity of Flow Android with desktop Windows 10. Additionally, they should enable Flow connectivity with multiple devices.

@aokog Thanks for reply. I've tried what you suggested, same problem (Mac and Windows), what's more if I close the log into account page/tab, even though I am logged into sync as usual it logs me out of the sync.
