So, forgive me if there is an obvious answer to this, however I have yet to come across one.

I was wondering if there is a way to access the information I set to chrome.storage.sync within my extension anywhere aside from the extension I've built.  Seeing as how it is not part of the chrome.extension package, I would think it is possible, however have yet to see this anywhere.  Ideally I'd like to access this information on my phone either by an app, or by a website or extension or something.  Anyone have any thoughts on how this might be possible?

Thanks!

The best way to handle this will to have the extension save the data to a web API that can be leveraged by any apps/sites you want. There are a number of possibilities including rolling your own API, storing in files on Dropbox/Drive, or using a service like Parse (https://parse.com/products/data)

Yea, That would be the ideal scenario, however this is for a quick 'hackday' at work, and I don't have the time to crank that out.  If there was an 'easy' way to hook this in to something, say an android app, or something else, I'd rock out with it, however changing it to sync with a back end  is not worth it for this phase of a project.

Thanks for the thoughts though.
