The cloud desktop is powered by many servers, and when you login most of your files and settings will follow you onto whatever server you are logging into. One notable exception however can be the your web browser. An easy way around this is to use Google Chromes, Microsoft Edge & Firefox's own sync service, which allows all bookmarks, settings and other items to follow you wherever you are working (even on your mobile phone).
This is also helpful when you work from multiple devices (such as mobile, computers & laptops) - to keep all your bookmarks in sync.
When you sign in to Microsoft Edge and turn on sync, you can easily browse the web from any of your devices, keep your favorites organized, and always pick up right where you left off.
