5 MB storage limit increase in Chrome

Question

We have a POS application written in html5 and we use localStorage to store orders and other information.

I am experiencing the 5MB limitations that chrome offers, and this leads to an application crash.

Is there an easy way to increase this limit?

thanks

Check out this link, it will discuss your problem, and this may help you.

The db file path for chrome and chrome in the viewport looks like ...

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data\Default\Application Cache\Index C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Application Cache 

The sql statement is executed here ...

 insert into Quota values("http://127.0.0.1:8008/", 100000000); 

You can run this command using the sqlite3 command line tool available here http://www.sqlite.org/download.html . Put any source url there is more storage space.

No, there is no way to increase 5MB localStorage for each domain. However, you can use IndexedDB to store your data. Read more: IndexedDB and limitations
