Storage types
Whether you prefer the flexibility of cloud storage or the efficiency of local storage, Multilogin X has you covered.
| CLOUD PROFILES | LOCAL PROFILES | |
| HOW IT WORKS | Download once, then launch quickly from a cached version. If anything changes, syncing happens at the next launch. | Stored on your device after the first launch, so they always load instantly. |
| STORAGE | Everything – metadata and profile data – is stored securely on AWS, so you can access it from anywhere. | Profile data (cookies, extensions, etc.) stays on your device, while metadata is backed up on AWS. |
| BENEFITS | Perfect for teams or multi-device users since everything stays synced. | Super fast launch times, always |
Storage types in profile settings
Click "New profile" and head over to the "Essentials" section. Cloud storage is selected by default.
Storage types in the profile list
In the profile list, you'll see a handy selector. You can use it to filter your profiles by storage type.
Profile storage location
File system path
This is where you can find profile data in your file system:
- Windows:
C:\Users\%username%\mlx\profiles - macOS:
/Users/%username%/mlx/profiles - Linux:
/home/%username%/mlx/profiles
Folder structure
This is how data storage is structured:
- User ID: if you have several accounts in Multilogin X and need to find a user ID, use the guide How to get the user ID
- Workspace and profile IDs: you can get these details with the guide How to get profile, folder, and workspace IDs
You can also find the profile ID by clicking "Edit" in the UI and checking the address bar: app.multilogin.com/en/home/profiles/edit/<profile-id>/essentials.
