title: Chrome from selenium won't sync
body: <p>I am trying to open up a selenium browser with sync option enabled. Either I specify <code>--used-data-dir</code> (having all the cookies and extensions from my google account loaded on selenium) or I don't, it stills won't allow me to sync. A way to check if the browser is allowed to sync is to go to settings -> people. If the browser is syncing a <em>Sync on</em> label/option must exist under your account name. If the browser is not syncing then this option is not there, and so you cannot change it. </p>
  
  <p>I have also tried changing the chrome policy <em>DisableSync</em> globally from the <code>registry edit</code> as specified <a href="https://superuser.com/questions/937655/sync-chrome-bookmarks-without-admin-access">here</a>, but still, selenium won't sync (even if in <em>chrome://policy/</em>  the <em>SyncDisabled</em> policy is set to <em>false</em>). </p>
  
  <p>Won't sync means that if e.g. I add/change a password from a site, the new password won't be stored in my account's cookies, which is basically my objective.  Just to clarify, when I open chrome normally (not selenium) then, of course, the sync option is available.</p>
  
  <p>So, my question I guess is how I can open chrome through selenium having the sync option enabled?</p>
