Where the sessionStorage and localStorage stored?

Where are sessionStorage and localStorage stored on the client's computer?
Could you tell me the path?

Solution

  • Firefox

    Firefox stores localstorage in webappsstore.sqlite file in the profile folder.

    Firefox (Windows XP):

    C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows login/user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>\webappsstore.sqlite

    Firefox (Windows Vista and above):

    C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>\webappsstore.sqlite

    or:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>\webappsstore.sqlite

    Firefox on linux:

    ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile folder>/webappsstore.sqlite

    Firefox on mac:

    ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>/webappsstore.sqlite

    or:

    ~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>/webappsstore.sqlite

    Chrome

    Chrome stores in separate files inside the Local Storage directory.

    Chrome on windows:

    %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage\

    Chrome on linux:

    ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Local Storage/

    Chrome on mac:

    ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/<Profile>/Local Storage/

    commonly:

    ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local Storage/

    Internet explorer:

    I am a bit unsure, but think this will do the trick

    %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStorage

    Opera

    As said by OammieR:

    C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\sessions\autosave.win

    or as said by Kevin Hakanson:

    C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera\pstorage\
