Symptoms
- I would like to transfer Assets to my offline machine
- I would like to download Assets to my offline machine
- My machine cannot be connected to the Internet, how can I transfer my purchased Assets to this computer?
Cause
Your project may currently be stored on an offline machine or environment and you need to add Assets that have been purchased on the Asset Store to the project.
Resolution
1. You will need to first download the Asset via a machine that is connected to the internet.
2. Once downloaded, you can find the Asset files in the following directory:
*Please note: These folders are hidden by default*
Windows - User>AppData>Roaming>Unity>Asset Store>"Publisher Name"
Mac - User>Library>Unity>Asset Store>"Publisher Name"
3. You can transfer the Asset files via USB to the offline machine, or one of the machines in your offline environment.
More Information
Please note: If you need all users in your offline environment to use the Asset you will need to share it via the network using source control, also, if the Asset(s) in question are 'Extension Assets' or in the Asset description it says 'license per seat', then one copy of the Asset per developer will need to be purchased.

The correct Windows path is %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-<version_number>\<publisher_name>
This is SOOOO BAD!
The folder they are referring to is HIDDEN by default on mac.
A simple task of purchasing an item and downloading to your computer became a 3hours TASK to figure out how to do it. such a shame
waste of time!

I'm simply commissioning a new PC and would be nice to no if on the new PC to I copy the 100's of downloaded Assets to the asset folder destination and simply open Unity and it's as though I had downloaded them via Asset Store?
The destination and expected outcome was not covered.
Hello Tony,
Thank you for your comment, I would be happy to help you with this.
I can confirm that you can move those Asset files to a new destination on your new PC. However, in doing this you would still need to re-import the Assets into the Editor or your Project, after they have been relocated using the instructions above.
I hope this has been helpful for you!
what about Linux????????
I was able to do this by simply copying my asset folders to new PC into the asset folder location after installing unity and downloading 1 x item the top level folder was created. It appears to have worked as browsing unity store within unity shows the status of each of the assets correctly.
I also transferred my projects by following a procedure to prep each project for the move (see below). As my C is SSD I copied projects to D: 4Tb standard drive and added each via Unity hub very easily. I have Unity 2017,18,19 > 2 x versions, I upgraded projects appropriately.
