Google Chrome – How to Sync Custom Theme Across Computers

google-chromegoogle-chrome-extensionssync

I made a Google Chrome theme, and have loaded it into Google Chrome using the Developer tools (Tools → Check "Developer mode"). But the theme won't sync across computers, even after I followed the steps in this post.

I have been able to sync themes I downloaded from the chrome store across devices, why can't I sync this one? Is the solution that I have to somehow upload the theme to the Chrome store, and then download my own theme?

Yes, Chrome will only sync those items available in the Web store. When Chrome sync runs, it fetches all ids from your existing profile, compares them with the new profile & if the item isn't found, initiates an install from the Web store.

Since your theme isn't found on the web store, there's no way to sync & install it
