I would like to know how is chrome.storage.sync synced in Opera.

The documentations talks about Opera Sync, is that Opera Link? Is there any web page to guide the users on how to enable the chrome.storage.sync extension settings sync?

Does Opera button>More tools>Synchronise have anything to do with it? The Chrome Sync implementation is much more straightforward to me.

Can't use it if I don't know if it will work on Opera's side.

Unfortunately chrome.storage.sync is not supported yet. There is no any connection to the Opera Sync.

    Lastest Opera versions (tested on v.34) already support it, but don't forget to add "storage" in the manifest permissions param - https://developer.chrome.com/apps/storage –  Nov 13 '15 at 21:15
  • @nevermind, are you sure about that? as according to the Opera documentation at https://dev.opera.com/extensions/declare-permissions/ storage.sync is not supported. – user280109 Mar 22 '16 at 16:50
  • @user280109 - the sync is not fully supported. I used chome.storage.sync in an extension and it works fine when you want just to store some data, but it doesn't sync those data btw the different browsers/devices - http://forums.opera.com/discussion/1867018/chrome-storage-sync/p1 –  Mar 23 '16 at 07:39

According to the Opera documentation at https://dev.opera.com/extensions/declare-permissions/ chrome.storage.sync is not supported.

If you try using chrome.storage.sync in your code the browser will "fallback" to using chrome.storage.local to maintain compatibility, so it won't actually sync settings across multiple browsers.
