The Prompt Manager That Stores Everything in Your Google Drive
By CloudPrompt Team · Updated
Most prompt managers store your data on their servers. CloudPrompt doesn't. Every prompt you save goes directly to your own Google Drive — encrypted, private, and under your control.

It's a question almost no prompt manager wants you to ask.
Most tools store your prompts on their servers
When you save a prompt to a typical prompt manager, it gets uploaded to a database the company controls. The marketing copy says "synced to the cloud." The reality is "stored on a server you can't see."
You don't really own your data
If the data lives in someone else's database, you don't own it — you have access to it. Access can be revoked, throttled, paywalled, or breached. That's a fundamentally different thing from ownership.
If the service shuts down, you lose everything
Small SaaS tools come and go. The prompt library you spent months building can disappear with 30 days' notice. Some tools offer export — many don't. Either way, you're betting on someone else's runway.
AI prompts can contain sensitive information
Internal product names. Code snippets. Client briefs. Strategy documents. The prompts you write reflect what you're working on — and you probably don't want all of that sitting in a third-party database with unclear retention.
Your prompts live in a folder you can see and control
No proprietary database. No black box. Just a folder in your Google Drive.
The data path
Creates a single folder
CloudPrompt makes one folder named CloudPrompt in the root of your Drive. That's the entire footprint.
Stores prompts as JSON
prompts.json is plain, human-readable JSON. You can open it in any text editor — no proprietary format.
Uses drive.file scope
A narrow, per-file Google Drive scope. It does not grant CloudPrompt broad access to all files in your Drive.
No broad Drive access
CloudPrompt does not request permission to browse all of your Drive. The drive.file scope limits access to specific files used with the app.
Full data ownership, zero trust required
When the data really is yours, things get simpler.
Export anytime
Download your entire library as JSON or CSV from Settings → Backup & Restore → Export. Or just open prompts.json directly from Google Drive. Your data is never locked in.
Sync across devices
Same Google account = same prompts everywhere. Install CloudPrompt on your laptop, desktop, and work machine — all three sync through your Drive automatically. No CloudPrompt account, no separate login.
Offline access
Offline access to prompts cached on your device.
Delete = deleted
Uninstall the extension and delete the CloudPrompt folder from your Drive. Your data is gone — there's no copy on CloudPrompt servers. No "30-day deletion window," no support ticket required.
Privacy-first doesn't mean feature-light
You don't have to trade functionality for data ownership.

Permissions, explained
CloudPrompt asks for: Google sign-in and Drive access limited to the files it creates (the drive.file scope), to store your prompts file and its backups; local storage, for a copy of your library and your settings; tabs, to handle Google sign-in on Edge and Comet and to read the active tab's address so prompts for that AI site show first; the right-click menu, for Save to CloudPrompt; and access to all sites, so the keyboard shortcut and right-click save work on any page. CloudPrompt does not track your browsing or send your data to CloudPrompt servers.
storage
Caches your prompts locally for fast access and offline use. Stays on your device. We can't read it.
identity
Authenticates with Google via OAuth 2.0. We see only the OAuth token — never your password.
tabs
Used only for the sign-in flow on Edge and Comet (where Chrome's native auth flow is not used). Reads the URL of the temporary sign-in tab to extract the token, then closes it. We don't see your other tabs.
contextMenus
Powers the right-click Save to CloudPrompt menu item. We only see the text you selected, at the moment you choose to save it.
drive.file
A narrow, per-file Google Drive scope. It lets CloudPrompt work with specific files used with the app, including files it creates or files you explicitly authorize for use with it, without granting broad access to all files in your Drive.
