The latest blog post suggests that you should be able to sign in using a AAD accounts, but i'm still not finding I can. Only MS accounts are able to be selected.
This is version 77.0.211.3.

Don't worry. Still seems to be an experimental feature that's turned off by default.
Enabling it signs into the account immediately without having to select anything.

It does state that sync is not 'yet' available, so perhaps it's coming.

On the positive side: Once the flag is enabled, the menu experience is pretty painless. I am on a machine connected to my O365 domain with Windows 10 Pro. It detects my user and conveniently offers me the option of syncing the profile to that user with one click, but still gives me the option of selecting a different O365 account, or a Microsoft account.
+1 for the first half of the experience, UI is pleasant, simple and to the point.
On the negative side:
I am getting the error:
The Microsoft Edge team has been notified of this issue. Please try again later. Error code: -2147024540
I don't know if it is just buggy right now; or because of the license - I have a Microsoft O365 Business license. Other users on my company use Microsoft 365 Business Essentials and Office 365 Business Essentials.
IMO any O365 license should just work to sync settings, to foster adoption of the platform. Microsoft, you are playing catch-up here, need to give the goodies.

Thank you for your feedback. We are actively working on enabling sync for Enterprise accounts and will be rolling it out very soon. We acknowledge the concern you raised around sync only available for Azure premium accounts. We are exploring ways to improve our offering/messaging here.
Really appreciate your support and patience.

@akhator Thank you for the reply and update. It would be great if not just Enterprise Accounts but also Office 365 Business Premium accounts be able to sync not only Edge data but also Windows 10 settings. It's too bad that free Outlook.com accounts are able to sync Edge and Windows 10 settings but not paid Office 365 Business Premium accounts. I hope that Microsoft will please consider this. Thank you for your time and reply.

Is there a way to actually push that experimental flag as "enabled" through GPO, GPP or some other method? If I was able to do that, I wouldn't need to send an explanation / install cheat sheet to our internal testers. In our company, we need to force sign-in into the AAD account by default.
At the moment, I had to switch that setting of in the Test GPO because we ended up in a loop.
(To sign in, you need AAD to work, but to turn it on, you need to pass the mandatory sign-in box. We block personal Microsoft accounts from our corporate network).

This seems to be broken, as it is now showing an error against my profile.
I'm also unable to sign-in to Edge on iOS, so seems to be a back-end thing.
Hope they sort this out soon...

@RichLusk, we have Azure AD Premium and it let's me sign in and says syncing but never does sync.

@Jeffrey Allen Thanks for reporting the problem. Can you submit feedback using in-app feedback channel so that we can investigate this further?
Aug 19 2019 12:51 PM
@Anthony Russell Are you still facing this issue after signing out and signing back in on your PC? For your iOS issue, can you submit feedback using in-app feedback channel if you are still facing this issue?
Aug 20 2019 12:47 AM
@akhator Yes, I'm still seeing this issue and I have already submitted feedback on both. One of the first things I did.

On a domain-joined pc, I am able to sign in with my consumer account, but then sync is disabled.
It is also in Windows 10, and apparently Edge relies on this - and it cannot be enabled either, according to other reports about Sync in Windows 10 on domain-joined computers.
When signing in with my work account, the message is "Couldn't connect to the sync server. Retrying..."

@akhator, I submitted feedback on syncing for Windows 10, iPhone and iPad.
