Syncing Chrome Extension Settings w/ Dropbox

4

I was wondering where I could find the settings for extensions in Google Chrome so I can create a symbolic link to synchronize the information w/ Dropbox until Google offers an official solution. It'd give me great peace of mind as a Greasemonkey developer!

I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7 Snow Leopard.

They are stored in the Local Storage area of the User Data folder. The exact path depends on the OS you are using:

macOS

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local Storage/

Windows XP

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage\

Windows Vista / 7 / 10

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage\

Linux

~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Local Storage/

info Note: the files (SQLite) are each named:

chrome-extension_<an alpha code of some sort>_0.localstorage
