Is the Edge Dev or Beta?

Edge Beta latest version, are you running which version, Dev ?

 

[amirr]

Yes, Dev.

Says previous Dev had this problem. So still they have it.

@silversurfer Do you recommend to always stay on Beta version of Edge, instead of Dev? I value your input in this. Thanks.

In general, Beta will be probably less "buggy" but on Dev version there are earlier new features, so for me it's understandable if users chosen Edge Dev for trying out new features. Finally, all depends what the user want to accept easier, if bugs are most annoying point then either using Edge Beta or even better Edge Stable.

I moved to Canary now, and don't see the problem there.

Edge Canary gets a built-in feature for sharing files and notes across devices​

Edge Canary gets a built-in feature for sharing files and notes across devices

Here is another new feature Microsoft is currently testing in the Canary channel. The latest preview versions of the browser have a built-in AirDrop-like feature for sharing files and notes.

Microsoft Edge Drop: transfer files between all Edge instances on all devices​

Closing Words

Drop integrates OneDrive file transfers in the Edge browser. Some users may find the added option comfortable, especially if they use Edge a lot. Others may point out that it is easy enough to add files to the OneDrive folder on the device to transfer the files.

Drop supports the sending of notes, which OneDrive does not support in that way. Users could create text documents and add notes to them, or use other means, e.g., writing notes on paper, instead.

An option to attach notes to uploaded files may be useful to some users, but this is not supported at the time.

Some Microsoft Edge users may find Drop useful, as it makes sending files and notes between devices a bit easier, especially on mobile. File restrictions of OneDrive apply, including that certain types of files are prohibited from being uploaded to the service.

"Overall, Microsoft Edge Drop tries to mimic the "Saved messages" feature in Telegram, a dedicated space for storing anything you want inside the messenger. Unlike Telegram, which provides unlimited cloud storage, Microsoft Edge Drop seems to be dependent on free space available in your OneDrive."

I just could not learn how to use Drop feature of Edge Canary in the Edge Canary of Android. Can you help?

I cannot help this time, iOS user only here, so for me no chance to try Drop in Edge Canary for Android. Looks like impossible to use Edge Canary on iOS

Microsoft Edge Insider for iOS supports the Beta and Dev channels. The Beta channel is the most stable preview experience, with major updates every 4 weeks. Our Dev builds are the best representation of our improvements in the last week.

I use a password manager, LastPass. Which option now is best to set in that part in the Edge?
For now, I set the third one below. Is that ok, or setting to Automatically is also ok?
