Q105: How can I sync all scripts installed at Tampermonkey to another browser?
A105 It is very easy to sync your scripts. Please follow this procedure to enable the sync feature:
- Go to Tampermonkey's Dashboard and select the "Settings" tab
- now set the "Config Mode" to either "Beginner" or "Advanced"
- search for the "Script Sync" section and
- Choose your favorite sync service (see below)
- Finally you need to "Enable Script Sync" and press the "Save" button
Tampermonkey supports the following sync services:
- Google Drive
You need a Google Account in order to use this service. Once enabled Google asks whether Tampermonkey is allowed to store data at a special folder which solely contains app data.
- Dropbox
A Dropbox account is needed for this. Once enabled Dropbox asks whether Tampermonkey is allowed to store data to your Dropbox.
Note: if this service is enabled Tampermonkey will not run scripts at several Dropbox related URLs anymore!
- WebDAV
You can use any WebDAV server, but you may need to enter credentials to access it. Please also have a look at TamperDAV. It contains some proprietary features which speed up the process and allows script editing with your own external editor.
Note: Tampermonkey will not run scripts at the server's URLs anymore!
- Browser Sync
If it's available for your browser, then it uses your browser's internal service to transfer information between all Tampermonkey instances.
Please note that you have to be signed in to your browser and that the amount of data that can be synced is very limited.
That's why Tampermonkey needs a publicly accessible URL to sync your scripts.
To be clear on that: only scripts that are downloaded from a web server or that contain a valid
@downloadURL tag are processed.
For that purpose both, the http and https protocol can be used.
In case of a conflict the change with the most recent modification date will win.
