Also, these paths will get you to where the Brave-Browser, -Beta, -Dev, and -Nightly folders are, but the profiles are stored in additional folders inside those. That is, the path should be extended to include /Brave-Browser/ for macOS and Linux or \Brave-Browser\User Data\ in Windows 10.
Edit 20200615: Apologies, but I had some kind of brain cramp and there’s no User Data folder in macOS Brave installations, just Brave-Browser folder that holds the profile folders. I suspect same in Linux and will confirm tonight.
Later 20200615: Indeed, after testing several distros, Linux also does not have the User Data folder. So sorry for the brain cramp on this.
Thus, complete paths to User Data
| OS | Path to folder with profile folders |
|---|---|
| macOS: | /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/"Application Support"/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/ |
| or in shorthand format | |
~/Library/"Application Support"/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/ |
|
| Linux: | /Users/YOURUSERNAME/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/ |
| or in shorthand format | |
~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/ |
|
| Windows 10: | C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\ |
| or in shorthand format | |
~\%AppData%\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\ |
In Windows 10, AppData is ordinarily hidden. To see it in Explorer, click the View tab of the window you’re using and check the Hidden items checkbox
Added 20200615: Likewise in Linux, the .config folder in the GUI may be hidden and one must use the file browser’s View menu (may differ depending on flavor of Linux) to enable the viewing of hidden files/items in order to see it in the GUI.
