1

Install

  • • Install CloudPrompt from the Chrome Web Store.
  • • Works on Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Comet.

2

Connect Google Drive

  • • Open CloudPrompt → click Connect Google Drive

  • • Search → click a prompt to copy → paste anywhere.
  • • Or right-click any text field → Insert CloudPrompt.

What CloudPrompt does

  • Save your best prompts so you don't rewrite them.
  • Organize with folders (categories) + tags.
  • Find anything instantly with search.
  • Insert prompts directly by right-clicking any text field — no copy-paste required.
  • Copy prompts from any page with one keyboard shortcut.
  • Keep your data private: prompts are stored in your Google Drive, not our servers.

How to use CloudPrompt day-to-day

Save a prompt

  1. Open CloudPrompt (extension popup or Library page)
  2. Click New Prompt
  3. Add Title + Prompt
  4. Choose a Folder (category) and optional Tags
  5. Click Save

📝 Titles are limited to 100 characters. Prompts support long text (up to 30,000 characters).

Find and use a prompt (fastest way)

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Y
  2. Type a keyword (title, content, tags all work)
  3. Click the prompt to copy
  4. Paste into ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / email / docs — anywhere

Insert a prompt via right-click New in v1.2.0

  1. Right-click any text field on any page — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or anywhere else
  2. Select Insert CloudPrompt from the context menu
  3. Pick the prompt you want from the list
  4. The prompt is inserted directly into the text field — no copy-paste needed

💡 This is the fastest way to use a prompt. No other prompt manager offers right-click insert.

Organize with folders + tags

  • Folders: Best for big buckets like "Writing", "Coding", "Marketing"
  • Tags: Best for cross-cutting labels like "seo", "email", "cold-outreach"

💡 Tip: Keep tags consistent (e.g., pick cold-email or cold outreach, not both).

Power features (still simple)

📌

Pin your top prompts

  • • Pin up to 3 prompts total.
  • • Pinned prompts always appear at the top — great for "daily drivers" you reuse constantly.
⚡

Use Templates (with variables)

  • • Templates let you fill in blanks quickly.
  • • Free tier: up to 5 templates, up to 5 variables per template.

Example template:

"Write a LinkedIn post about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE] in the tone of [STYLE]."

How it works:

  1. Mark a prompt as a Template
  2. Use variables like [TOPIC]
  3. When you use the template, CloudPrompt asks for the values and builds the final prompt

Smart Features

CloudPrompt gets smarter the more you use it.

Context-Aware Prompts

CloudPrompt detects which AI tool you're using and surfaces your most relevant prompts automatically.

chatgpt.com → your ChatGPT folder appears first
claude.ai → your Claude folder appears first
gemini.google.com → your Gemini folder appears first
copilot.microsoft.com → your Coding folder appears first

⚙️ How to turn it on or off:
Go to Settings → Smart Features → Context-Aware Prompts toggle. It's on by default.

Sync across devices

Without slowdowns

  • CloudPrompt loads fast using local caching.
  • Your library syncs to Google Drive in the background.
  • Automatic backups: before any change that could risk data loss, CloudPrompt saves a timestamped backup to your own Google Drive — so your prompts are always recoverable.
  • Offline? You can still access cached prompts (read-only) until you're back online.

💡 Need to force sync? Go to Settings → Sync Now

Privacy-first by design

Your Data, Your Control

  • Your prompts are stored in your Google Drive (CloudPrompt folder).
  • CloudPrompt uses minimal permissions — only the Drive files it creates, and context menu access for right-click insert.
  • We don't host your prompt content on our servers.

📁 Where is my data exactly?
Google Drive → CloudPrompt → prompts.json

Troubleshooting

  1. Open your browser → Extensions → Keyboard shortcuts
  2. Find CloudPrompt and set "Open prompt selector"
  3. Try again with your new shortcut

Some pages don't allow extensions:

  • chrome:// pages
  • Chrome Web Store pages
  • Some browser internal pages

Solution: Try on a normal website tab.

  • Make sure you're signed into the right Google account in Chrome
  • Disable ad/script blockers briefly and retry
  • If it persists, contact support with the error message

On Edge and Comet, sign-in works differently — CloudPrompt opens a Google sign-in tab instead of a popup.

  1. Click Connect Google Drive — a Google sign-in tab will open
  2. Complete the sign-in and click Allow
  3. The tab closes automatically when done

If the tab doesn't close or sign-in fails:

  • Check that pop-ups are not blocked in your browser settings for cloudprompt.app
  • Try clearing the extension cache: go to Settings → Disconnect → reconnect
  • Still stuck? Contact support and mention which browser you're using

The right-click insert option appears only on editable text fields (input boxes, textareas, rich text editors). It won't appear on images, links, or read-only text.

  • Make sure you're right-clicking inside a text input or chat box
  • If it's missing entirely, try disabling and re-enabling the extension in your browser's extension manager
  • Still not showing? Contact support and tell us which site and browser you're using
  1. Confirm you connected the same Google Drive account
  2. Open Settings → click Sync Now
  3. Check Google Drive for the CloudPrompt folder
  • Go to Settings → Backup & Restore
  • Export JSON for full fidelity; export CSV for spreadsheets
  • Import supports JSON and CSV with validation (duplicates are skipped)

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — because it works on any website. Use the keyboard shortcut to copy a prompt and paste it anywhere, or right-click any text field and select Insert CloudPrompt to insert it directly.

Both let you access your prompts instantly. The keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Y) opens a full search panel where you can browse and copy a prompt to your clipboard. Right-click insert goes one step further — it places the prompt directly into the text field you clicked on, skipping the copy-paste step entirely.

No separate CloudPrompt account. Google Drive connection is used for storage + sync.

Yes. Core features stay free forever.
