1

Install

  • • Install CloudPrompt from the Chrome Web Store.
  • • 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.
3

Open anywhere

  • • Press Ctrl+Shift+Y (Win/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+Y (Mac)
  • • 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 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 50,000 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

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.
  • • 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

Sync across devices

Without slowdowns

  • CloudPrompt loads fast using local caching.
  • Your library syncs to Google Drive in the background.
  • 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 Google Drive permissions (only the files it creates).
  • We don't host your prompt content on our servers.

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

Troubleshooting

  1. Open Chrome → 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
  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 with validation (duplicates are skipped)
