Option to sync more than one profile per Google account

Reported by kai.hen...@gmail.com, Mar 12 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.146 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Buy a new computer
2. Sign into new chrome install
3. Notice other profiles are not there

What is the expected behavior?
All profiles could come along with a sync.

At least have some sort of file based import option to move across profiles manually, outside of Google chrome sync.

What went wrong?
Missing profiles
about:flags
Dev tools settings
Url handler Mailto settings

Did this work before? N/A

After signing in to chrome from chrome://settings, only a particular profile through which we are signing in will get synced. To get all the profiles we need to create a new person and need to sign in with that particular account.

@Reporter: Could you please let us know if this is a "Feature request".

Thanks!
Sure, it's a feature request..

Sorry, but this is not going to happen. Profiles are specifically a way to support different users, each of which might or might not be syncing. Sync lives *within* a profile, and doesn't know about the existence of any other profiles. Changing that would be a very major change to how Sync works, and it'd break a lot of other use cases.
