**Description:**  
Someday i found the option to download my account preferences into “.json” file format. When i open it inside it has some custom network we already added and any customized setting we made. Sometimes my extension crash/corrupted and need to redownload the extension to fix it, then RE-ADDING ALL NETWORK I ALREADY SAVED! I’m fine with re-import or re-login my account with seed phrase or another, because it doesn’t take much time. It just the network we added/saved, sometimes we forget which network we add/save so i have to open any website to add again and it’s kinda takes time.

**Purpose:**  
It can be useful too for us if we want to import all network we already added/saved from one device to another devices we had.

**Extension/Mobile/Both:**  
Both

The new “Account Sync” feature allows for many of these options without needing to manually backup/restore/store files locally. [MetaMask Profile Sync | MetaMask Help Center](https://support.metamask.io/configure/privacy/profile-privacy/)

Account Sync isn’t avail on mobile or the portfolio yet. (will be coming in a future update)

Under Settings \> Advanced you may notice the “Export your data” section. This allows you to download a JSON that contains your preferences, address books, network and token lists, etc. BUT, we don’t have a feature to import them back into MM currently. Team is aware of the requests/want for the feature, but we don’t have a release date for it at this time.
