What is the purpose of storage type conversion

The profile storage type conversion feature allows you to change the storage location of your browser profiles—whether on your device (local) or online (cloud). It is ideal for managing performance or cross-device synchronization.

Why Storage Type Conversion Is Useful

Cloud Storage: Access profiles from multiple devices
Local Storage: Faster performance on a single machine
Flexible Control: Change the storage type anytime according to your workflow

What are the restrictions?

If the local configuration file does not exceed 100 MB, it can be converted into a cloud configuration file
If the cloud configuration file does not exceed 2 GB, it can be converted into a local configuration file

How to Convert Configuration File Storage Types

Use the checkboxes to select one or more profiles
Right-click any profile
Click 'Convert Storage'
The profile will automatically be converted to the opposite type (Local ↔ Cloud)

How to Check Storage Type

To check the current storage type, look at the icon in the storage column:

Cloud = Online storage
Device = Stored on your device

Professional Tips

If you work in multiple locations or on multiple devices, use cloud storage
Use local storage to improve speed, especially when launching a large number of profiles
Combine with filters to batch convert specific types of profiles

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert multiple configuration files at once?

Of course! Just check them using the checkbox before clicking 'Convert Storage'.

Will any data be lost during the conversion?

No – your profile remains unchanged, only the storage location has changed.

Is there a limit to the number of times I can convert?

No limits! Switch anytime as needed.
