That's great to hear! If your Chrome data is already in sync with your Google account, you're in a good position. In that case, your bookmarks, history, settings, and saved passwords are safely backed up online and can be restored if needed.
As an extra precaution, some users also export their bookmarks locally by going to the Bookmark Manager (typechrome://bookmarks/
into the address bar) and selecting "Export bookmarks." But if you're comfortable with your sync being in place, you can skip that step.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
If your Chrome sync is enabled for all 12 accounts, your bookmarks, passwords, and other settings are safely stored in the cloud, so you don't necessarily have to export everything manually to your D: drive. However, many users choose to create a local backup as an extra precaution, especially if you have a lot of accounts or critical data you want to protect.
In summary, it's not mandatory if you trust the sync, but exporting a backup might provide additional peace of mind in case something unexpected happens.
You only need to export a backup for your Chrome profiles if you want an extra local copy of your data. Keep in mind:
• Chrome sync will back up each profile’s data to your Google account, so you can simply re-sign into each profile post-upgrade if needed.
• Exporting bookmarks is done per profile. If you want a local backup of bookmarks for all 12 accounts, you’d need to switch to each profile individually and export its bookmarks.
• For many users, relying on Chrome Sync is sufficient, but a local export provides that extra safety net if something unexpected happens.
So, if you're comfortable with relying on the cloud sync for all your profiles, you can skip the local export. Otherwise, you might consider exporting the important data from each profile. Let me know if you have any more questions!
re-sign LIKE A Login with Email/password in google?Yes, that's correct. If all your accounts are properly synced with Chrome, you can safely skip the local export. Just make sure you verify that each profile is indeed syncing and that all your important data (like bookmarks, saved passwords, etc.) is updated on Google's servers. This way, if anything happens during the upgrade, you can simply re-sign into each profile and restore your data from the cloud.
Yes, exactly. After the upgrade, if you need to re-sign into your Chrome profiles, you'll log in using your Google account email and password (and any two-factor authentication if set up). Essentially, it's the same process as when you first sign into Chrome.
Great to hear that all 12 accounts are in sync! That means your data is safely backed up to Google's servers, and you can simply re-sign in to each profile after your upgrade if needed. It sounds like you're all set—good luck with the upgrade, and feel free to drop by if you have any more questions along the way!
