What is "Session Storage" in Chrome Developer Tools?

What is Session Storage under the Resources tab of Chrome's Developer Tools?

Sessions are a server-side feature and cannot be accessed from the front end.

One can use the Ctrl+shift+I shortcut to access the Developer Tools.

Guess its too late to answer but for anyone else, the session storage that is shown in chrome dev tools is HTML5 sessionStorage and not the server side Session.

For Chrome, version 59x, you go to the Applications tab in Chrome Developer Tools. It's for variables you can put into the client side javascript to persist it in that users session. I use it with Angularjs as in:

$window.sessionStorage.setItem("username", $scope.userLogin.username);

See the picture below:
