      Storage Area (Sync vs Local)

      + +

      Storage Area, by default, is set to Local. If you wish to sync your redirector rules across devices, you may choose to enable Sync from Settings page. + When you toggle to Sync, data will be copied over to Sync storage and local storage will be deleted. + Similary, sync storage will be deleted if you disable sync and data will be moved to Local storage. +

      + Note:
      1. Google Chrome Sync and Mozilla Firefox Sync limits the storage size as per below. + This limit is decided by browser vendors and Redirector addon cannot do anything about changing the below.
        2. +
      2. You need to use chrome/firefox settings to setup a sync account for syncing to work. + If that is not completed, Sync will just act like local storage - take note of the storage sizes below. + If sync account is not setup in chrome/firefox browser settings, leave the storage area to LOCAL as it has much larger size than Sync storage size. +
      + +
        +
      • Local Storage: 5 MB - Redirector uses this as Default upon its installation
        • +
      • Sync Storage : 0.008192 MB to store "Redirects" (8192 bytes)
