Use your computer’s file system to check the size of a local Multilogin browser profile.

➡️ Go to “Profiles” → “Browser” → find the profile → confirm its storage type is “Device” → right-click it → click “Copy profile ID”. Then find the matching folder in your local mlx/profiles directory and check its size.

If the local profile folder isn’t available yet, start the browser profile first.

Before you start

Check the browser profile’s storage type in the “Storage” column:

• Device: use the steps below to check the local folder size
• Cloud: the profile data is stored online, so this file-system method does not show its cloud storage size

Option 1: use the file system search

1. Go to “Profiles” → “Browser”.
2. Right-click the profile you need and click “Copy profile ID”

3. Open the “profiles” folder in your file system:
   1. Windows: C:\Users\%username%\mlx\profiles
   2. macOS: /Users/%username%/mlx/profiles
   3. Linux: /home/%username%/mlx/profiles
4. Use your file system search to look up the copied profile ID
5. Check the folder size:
   1. Windows: right-click the folder → “Properties”
   2. macOS: right-click the folder → “Get Info”
   3. Linux: open Terminal in that folder and run du -sh .

Option 2: find the folder manually

Step 1: open the “profiles” folder

Here's where you can find the “profiles” folder in your file system:

• Windows: C:\Users\%username%\mlx\profiles
• macOS: /Users/%username%/mlx/profiles
• Linux: /home/%username%/mlx/profiles

The “profiles” folder has its hierarchy:

• Inside the “profiles” folder, you’ll see folders named with your User ID
• Inside the User ID folder, you’ll see folders named with your Workspace ID
• Inside the Workspace ID folder, you’ll see folders named with your Profile ID

Below we'll explain how to find the User, Workspace, and Profile ID.

Step 2: find your user ID

Once you find your User ID, enter the corresponding folder.

How to find a user ID in DevTools

Use DevTools to find a Multilogin user ID when a support or technical workflow specifically asks for it.

➡️ Open Multilogin → open DevTools → go to “Network” → open “Team” → search for the users request → open the response and copy the required user ID.

Use this only when you need a user-level identifier. For profile or workspace IDs, use the dedicated copy options in Multilogin instead.

A user ID identifies a Multilogin user in the team/workspace data returned by Multilogin.

1. Go to the “Profiles” page in Multilogin.
2. Open DevTools. Here's how to do that:
   1. Windows and Linux: press Ctrl + Shift + F12

Step 3: find your workspace ID

Once you find your Workspace ID, enter the corresponding folder.
