    Edge Favorites Location


    Where are the Edge favorites kept? There is no "packages" folder anywhere, and so the search stops at User\Joey\appdata\local.

    So you are saying I have no immediate access to the Microsoft Edge favorites. I know that I can import/export them and can backup everything, but I want these on a USB drive to bring them with me as I have multiple computers. I use IE11 as well as Edge and I don't want to keep importing/exporting back and forth if I add to or delete items. I want a dedicated file to be used as a reference that I control directly. This was easy in IE11. I want the same in Edge.

    You should be able to do this with an exported HTML file.

    You can save the HTML to the USB. If you open the HTML, it will open in your browser where you can click on a link of a favorite.

    In addition, you can import the HTML when wanted.
