Where are installed Google Chrome extensions stored locally?

I have installed Google Chrome's extension Chrome Office Viewer (Beta) for open Excel, Word and Power Point documents in browser. And now I need to install this extension to others computers in local network. The problem is that the computers is not connected to the Internet.

How can I extricate (get) installed Google Chrome's extension for installing to others computers (offline)?

Where are chrome extensions saved locally?

When extensions are installed into Chrome they are extracted into the C:\Users\[login_name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions folder. Each extension will be stored in its own folder named after the ID of the extension.

Where are Google extensions installed?

Navigate to chrome://version/ and look for Profile Path, it is your default directory and Extensions Folder is where all the extensions, apps, themes are stored. (If you have several browser profiles set up in Chrome, you will want to view the chrome://version/ page from the profile where the extension is installed.)

Chrome extensions are stored in your filesystem, under the Extensions folder, inside Chrome's user data directory.

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\<Extension ID>

Windows 10/8/7/Vista: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\<Extension ID>

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/<Extension ID>

Linux: ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/<Extension ID>

Chrome OS: /home/chronos/Extensions/<Extension ID>

You can copy the extension folder and drop it on a USB or in a network drive.

To install

  • Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions.
  • Make sure Developer Mode is checked.
  • Click Load Unpacked Extension....
  • Find your copied directory and click Open.

The extension should install locally.
