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 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

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

Your Data, Your Control

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

Troubleshooting

  1. Open your browser → ExtensionsKeyboard 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
  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)
