Profile storage decides where your browser profile data is saved and where you can use the profile.

Choose cloud storage when you need access across supported devices or team workflows
Choose local storage when the profile stays on one computer and you want its data saved there.

➡️ Go to “Profiles” → “Browser” → create or edit a profile → “General” → “Storage”.

You can switch between cloud and local storage later with “Convert storage”.

Android phones always use cloud storage
Local and cloud storage options in this article apply only to browser profiles.

Who can use this feature?

What profile storage does

Multilogin gives you two ways to store your browser profiles:

Cloud storage	Local storage
🌍 Work across devices 🔄 Sync automatically 👥 Best for teams or flexible setups	📍 Stay on one device ⚡ Load instantly 🧑‍💻 Best for speed and solo use

To check the current storage type, go to the browser profile list and look at the icon in the “Storage” column:

Want to check where local profile files live? Here’s the path in your system:

The “profiles” folder has its hierarchy:

Inside the “profiles” folder, you’ll see folders named with your User ID
Inside the User ID folder, you’ll see folders named with your Workspace ID
Inside the Workspace ID folder, you’ll see folders named with your Profile ID

Absolutely! Use the “Convert storage” feature to change from cloud to local or vice versa.

It depends on your device’s free space – but no hard limit is set by Multilogin.

Nope. Local profiles stay on that machine unless you export and import them manually.
