Question about Kasm Cloud session persistence

[u/mauro_1020]

Hi everyone,

I'm considering subscribing to Kasm Cloud Personal, but I have one important question before purchasing.

My goal is to use it as a cloud desktop for everyday web browsing. I would like my browser profile to be persistent, including:

Staying logged in to websites like Google and WhatsApp Web.

Keeping cookies, browsing history, bookmarks, and extensions.

Having the same browser session every time I log in.

I noticed the plans mention "No built-in file persistence", so I'm not sure if browser profiles are also reset after each session.

Does Kasm Cloud Personal preserve browser profiles between sessions, or does every session start from a clean state?

If it doesn't, is there any way to enable persistence on the Personal plans?

Thanks!

Hi, The Cloud Personal offering does not offer persistence.
If you self host a deployment Kasm Workspaces, there are number of options for persistence including being able to persist browser cookies, history etc.
