Google Chrome can synchronize browser data using Google-hosted synchronization services. Examples of synced data include, but are not limited to, history and favorites. The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled (1) NOTE: if your organization allows synchronization of data with Google, then disabling this setting will synchronize saved passwords with Google. Rationale: Browser data shall not be synchronized into the Google Cloud. Impact: If this setting is enabled, browser data will no longer sync with Google across devices/platforms allowing users to pick up where they left off.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via Group Policy, set the following UI path to Enabled: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome\Disable synchronization of data with Google Default Value: Unset (Same as Disabled, but user can change)
