redirection of Chrome profile to a network share vs to application data in the profile

Reported by torc...@gmail.com, Jun 16 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.84 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Profile is getting too big for enterprise environment using roaming profile
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
to be able to redirect the user chrome profile to a network share vs application data. Redirecting just to application data will not solve the issue with bigger profile since I would have to import the profile back into application data in the users profile.

What went wrong?
slow log on to windows environment since the profiles are so big from google chrome 

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.84  Channel: stable
OS Version: windows 7
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

I know you have a way to redirect, but it only allow it to redirect within the profile and not to any other path like a file share.

We've got our User Data folders redirected to our users' AppData\Roaming folder (which is, in turn, redirected to a network share via GPO) using the Chrome Group Policy templates[https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-templates] and directory variables[https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3/user-data-directory-variables].

However, depending on the implementation and infrastructure you're supporting, you may experience performance issues with your file server and lose the ability for users to have multiple instances of Chrome open in different sessions.

Hope this helps, cheers! :)
