Sync settings to local folder

Reported by sam...@gmail.com, Jun 26 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 53.0.2777.0
OS Version: OS X 10.11.5
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 5:
  Firefox 4.x:
     IE 7/8/9:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. There are no options to sync your settings to a local folder offline
2. This means you can save your settings offline to sync on a lan without access to google
3. And you can't use things like dropbox or whatever to sync your config (preferably encrypted)

What is the expected result?

To be able to sync preferences (preferably encrypted) to a local directory or file.

What happens instead of that?

You're locked into having a google account to sync your config with.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

IIUC, the feature request is to sync your Chrome prefs to a user-specific folder, to make it easy to export them or sync them via another service (such as dropbox). This doesn't seem like something we're going to be able to support in the immediate future.

Archiving this for now, in case we want to revisit later.
