what does Chrome Cloud Storage sync mean?

Inilien commented 4 years ago

Hi, I would like to ask to add more information into README about what exactly the Chrome Cloud Storage sync function does. It wasn't obvious for me what that means and I had to dig through old issues to find that information.
For example, it would be nice to clarify these questions:

What information is synchronized? My thinking was: since Extensity is an extension manager, probably it will synchronize settings of all extensions? E.g. I have installed extension foo and in its options I turned on option bar. Will that information be synchronized? Or only the list of installed extensions will be synced? Or only profiles (and list of installed extensions Chrome manages by itself)
How can I check if this feature is working correctly? Would be nice to see some green text in case if saving information to Chrome Cloud Storage was done successfully.

I'm getting “You have too many Extensions or Profiles to sync with Google. Your Profiles are still saved, but only for this browser” error in Extensity. What are the limits of each?

UPDATE/ANSWER: I found the problem. Apparently there is a limit of six Extensity Profiles. Deleting the seventh caused the error message to disappear.

This: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv2/reference/storage

Chrome has been bumping up extensions supported storage in newer Chrome versions, so this message should be less frequent.

Note: I wouldn't request unlimited storage for Extensity. Anything that would potentially flag the extension as harmful is an anti-feature.
