Personal cloud sync
You do not want to retype signatures and prompts on a new laptop. Turn on Sync my snippets, and the second computer plus the web library can see the same private library.
Abbreviations still expand on this computer. Edits on the website change the cloud copy; this computer updates the next time the desktop syncs.
Sign in to pull shared groups, or turn on โSync my snippetsโ. Shared groups are view-only on this device. Personal cloud sync cannot run with GitHub / Gitee / WebDAV.
View-only on this device; they still expand by abbreviation. Sign-in, opening the main window, or Sync now pulls the latest.
Last synced: just now
Keep the same private snippets on up to 3 devices. Only changes are uploaded. Up to 2000 snippets.
Settings โ License โ CE Cloud card: sign-in, Sync now, Open web library, shared-group hint, Sync my snippets, device slots.
Turn it on
- Buy Personal yearly or a Team seat (a lifetime key does not include CE Cloud). See Pricing.
- Open Settings โ License, then the CE Cloud tab (the Account tab is GitHub / disk, not this).
- Click Log in to CE Cloud. The browser shows a short code; approve it, then return to the app.
- Enable Sync my snippets. The first time, the app warns that a readable copy is stored in the cloud so the website can display it. The switch is off by default; signing in or pasting a key does not turn it on.
- Click Sync now, or open the main window and wait. Do not also enable personal sync to GitHub / Gitee / GitLab / WebDAV.
Without a valid cloud subscription the switch stays disabled and the app asks you to subscribe.
What is synced
Groups and snippet text sync. Clipboard history, screenshot files, and plugin install folders do not.
Only changed items upload. The web library does not count as one of your sync computers.
Coworkers cannot see a private library you have not shared. Sharing uses organization groups โ that moves a group into the team library; it does not open your private library to the company.
Offline, conflicts, off
- Offline: keep expanding. Sync when you are back.
- Same snippet edited on two computers: follow the in-app message. Do not expect a silent merge.
- Switch off: uploads stop; local snippets stay. Signing out or turning the switch off frees this computerโs slot.
- Cloud plan expired: the website copy may become view-only; expansion on this computer still works.
