just save all your tabs in bookmarks, using date-time format, and voila - you have all job's tabs at home by clicking "open all folder items"!
for saving all your tabs use "Bookmarks / Manage Bookmarks; right-click in the right pane and select "Bookmark all open pages".
This would be quite useful.
@lukoie: I typically have 20-40 tabs open at all times. Your proposal is simply not practical. Bookmarks should be seperate from tabs, sometimes you have tabs open that you don't really need to bookmark for keeps but you just need it currently for something you're doing. Synchronizing the active tabs would be just the thing you'd need. Ofcourse, if you don't like this, you could just turn tab synchronization off.
simply because my tabset changes quite often -> would result in much useless traffic. If I want to really keep a tabset I use a bookmarks folder (right-click on it -> "Bookmark all open pages"). I also use this instead of sessions as you can pick single pages out and merge/move stuff more easily (not to mention that you can build directory hierachies)

Honestly, this will crashed my computer before all tabs are loaded...
The only way to implant this feature in a practical way would be upload session to Opera Link on demand.
Basically, just like bookmarked all opened tabs & save it as HTML, then upload it to the Opera Link server.
Then we can go to Opera Link > Sessions to open those session manually...
Here is a work-around using Bookmarks to manage sessions:

It seems the Bookmark All Open Pages function will ONLY bookmarks all tabs in current active window!
That means the tricks I suggested won't work on multiple windows, because Bookmark All Open Pages function won't add tabs from other windows into the bookmark...

Me too. I always have like 20-25 windows (and 400-500 tabs open simultaneously) so I'm with you. But there's a question, what if the target machine is a lot weaker than the original machine? I mean, you could open 1000 tabs on your home machine (which maybe have like 2+ GB of memory) and save it to Opera Link. Then you goes outside with your notebook, let's say it have like 1 GB of RAM), then what would happen after you sync your notebook Opera? Bam? xP~ I think the one who should be sync'ed is the sessions? ;-) <-- LOL dude09 already has this one covered xD.

Yup, dude09 is 100% right. The only option that would make sense is session sync.
+1 I'm with you. It will be very neat if Opera Link could do session synchronization! o_o

I think it will not too hard to upload the session files. And for knowing what a session do (will it open 10, 100, or even 1000 tabs? xD), maybe we can put a little infos behind each of sessions list, maybe like: session-1 (window(s): 10, tab(s): 100) so we can be aware of the consequence before opening the session. Just my thoughts.
You can't argue against it unless having the optional feature would somehow have a negative effect on your browsing experience. Clearly there are people like myself who would use it. The real argument should be whether it is checked "on" by default. By the looks of what others have said above, it probably should not be.

While I don't have huge numbers of tabs open like some have described. What I need it for is that I read a lot of Fanfiction. Usually have about 10 tabs, some are to keep track of list of stories on different sites. While others are stories I am actively reading.
I have a USB Key that I have Opera@USB on. So when I travel, say visit family, I just plug in the USB Key and I am up and running. Currently I have to FIND the saved session on the computer, copy it to the key, and when I come back do the reverse. Fine for someone with the know how. But not for the average user. Saving Sessions in Opera Link would be just the ticket for the less skilled out there.
Not everyone has a extra computer. But a USB Key is great for portability. Now if moving my current session to/from the USB Key was automatically taken care of by Opera Link, I would be very happy.
Now, some have suggested having too many tabs for a new device. Simple, when starting on a different copy, ie the saved session would change the current last session. Simply ask if you want to replace the current session with the Opera Link Session.
ie on my Home computer, each time I start, the last session and the opera link session would match. But on my USB Key, they would not, and then I would be asked If I want to replace the current session with the opera link session.
Obviously, there would need to be some thinking on how this would work. But it really would be a useful extension of Opera Link.

I'm moving to Opera from Firefox and would like to see this feature added. Firefox allows you to click which tab you want to open from your other computers using the Firefox Sync. This option will allow me to select which tab I want to open on the different device. I find this useful for when I leave a tab on my desktop, then want to finish reading the same tab on my tablet.
I would also love a feature like this.

Your solution is so painful. If you don't like tab sync - you most likely will be able to disable it because opera sync from the very beginning allowed to choose what to synchronize
