I have extension in which data saved by users can be more than 100 kb. As far as I understand, chrome.storage.sync is limited to ~100 kb.
How can I offer users syncing feature with large(r) amount of data (I believe it wouldn't be bigger than 1MB).
chrome.syncFileSystem is reserved for pack. apps, so what's left for extensions?

The limit for chrome.storage.sync is actually 1MB.  Chrome.storage.local allows you to store up to 5MB.  If you're running up against the 1MB limit and don't want to use local storage, you could consider using compression to shrink the size of your data before you sync it.

I was under impression that quota for storage.sync is 100kb
chrome.storage.local is not a problem, I'm using unlimitedStorage permission to be safe with
