Synchronize Brave host folder files on two different computers via flash drive.
A complete data transfer from one computer to another is expected. Instead, on the computer that was synchronized with the external drive, the data simply disappears. The password list is empty. The add-on data disappears.
OS - Windows 10
Brave 1.80.115

So, I have to dance with a tambourine and attach crutches to a product that declares itself portable, so that it actually becomes portable?
Forget it…
It’s easier for me to switch to a browser from Mozilla, there are no such problems there.
Given that you have talent for experiment, I was hoping that the links (tooling) might help you to arrange a fix. Meanwhile, a search of Brave Community might help:
