I tested with mine, but can't guarantee it would work with other Systems. I'm using the Brave Browser on Win7-32 bits, I think it would work on Chrome too. \r\n\r\nIf it would work as expected, could Metamask add an option to export/import this zipped folder? It would be very convenient, at least to save all the time of importing all tokens again.\r\n\r\nHere it goes, all the process:\r\n\r\n1-Click on Metamask and on the popup window, click on the 3 dots and 'Expand View'. It will open a new tab with this page (possibly, the url may change eventually): chrome-extension://nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn/home.html\r\n\r\n2- Now open the Window Explorer and go to c:\\Users<Your Username>\\AppData\\Local\\BraveSoftware\\Brave-Browser\\User Data\\Default\\Local Extension Settings\r\n\r\nIn that folder, copy the folder nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn. It's the same name as in the URL we saw in the previous step. Backup this folder and move it into a flashdrive.\r\n\r\n3- In your other PC/laptop, install the same browser and Metamask. Close the browser and look for the same folder as in the step 2. Now plug in yout flashdrive and overwrite ths folder in your PC with the content from the flashdrive.\r\n\r\n4- Open the browser again, and check Metamask. It should ask for the same password from the older PC, and it will open with all accounts and tokens.\r\n\r\nHope it works. I hope also it can work with other browsers mixed (Chrome/Brave) and diff. systems (Linux/Mac/Win)"}}
