3. Check Sync Status to Ensure Your Data is Being Saved

Within the “You and Google” section, find and click on “Sync and Google services.” Here, check if your data, such as bookmarks, passwords, and history, is being synced with your Google account. Syncing is essential for exporting your profile.

4. Manage Sync Settings to Control What Data Gets Exported

Click on “Manage What You Sync” to review which data is being saved. Make sure that everything you want exported, like extensions and bookmarks, is included. Adjust the settings as needed to fit your preferences.

5. Copy the Chrome Profile Folder for Manual Backup

For a manual export, you can copy the profile folder directly from your computer. To do this, open File Explorer (or Finder on a Mac) and go to the folder:

  • Windows: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
  • Mac: /Users/<YourUsername>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/
    Find the folder labeled “Default” (or the name of your profile) and copy it to an external drive or cloud storage for backup.

6. Save or Transfer Your Profile for Future Use

Once the profile folder is copied, store it safely in your desired location. If you need to import it later, you can paste the folder back into the same directory on another device, or access it through Chrome using your Google account if sync is enabled.
