Most people are up and running in under 2 minutes.

1

Install

  • • Install CloudPrompt from the Chrome Web Store.
  • • Works on Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Comet.
  • • Pin it to your toolbar (optional, but handy).
2

Connect Google Drive

  • • Open CloudPrompt → click Connect Google Drive
  • • This creates a CloudPrompt folder in your Drive.
  • • On Edge or Comet, a sign-in tab opens — complete sign-in and the tab closes automatically.
3

Open anywhere

  • • Press Ctrl+Shift+Y (Win/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+Y (Mac). Microsoft Edge reserves this shortcut; choose another, such as Ctrl+Shift+X. CloudPrompt shows you how.
  • • Search → click a prompt to copy → paste anywhere.

💡 Tip: If the shortcut doesn't work, jump to "Troubleshooting → Keyboard shortcut".

What CloudPrompt does

  • Save your best prompts so you don't rewrite them.
  • Organize with folders (categories) + tags.
  • Find anything instantly with search.
  • 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

Save a prompt from any page New in v1.2.0

  1. Highlight text on any webpage
  2. Right-click and choose Save to CloudPrompt
  3. A dialog shows a title field, a preview, and an auto-detected folder
  4. Click Save

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.
  • • Up to 5 templates, with up to 5 variables each.

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: CloudPrompt saves a timestamped backup to your own Google Drive before changes that could risk data loss, and blocks a sync that would empty your library.
  • Offline? You can still open and copy the prompts cached on your device.

💡 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 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.
  • We don't host your prompt content on our servers.
