Sign in from the desktop app and sync your settings

Updated October 27, 2026

Signing in to Cloud PDF by MyCloudSuites on your computer is optional: the app works fully without an account, offline too, and updates never need it. Signed in, your settings follow you between your computers and Cloud PDF in your browser.

Sign-in and settings sync are in Cloud PDF 1.0.5 for Windows and 1.0.7 for Mac and later (update the app if yours is older).

Sign in

  1. In Cloud PDF, choose Sign in at the right of the top bar.
  2. Your web browser opens mycloudsuites.com. Sign in there with your email and password, or with Google. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one there.
  3. The page asks Sign in to Cloud PDF on your computer’s name. Choose Allow.
  4. Go back to the app. Your initials show at the right of the top bar.

The app never sees your password: you type it on mycloudsuites.com, in your own browser. Only choose Allow if you’ve just chosen Sign in in the app yourself.

What syncs

While you’re signed in, these stay the same on every computer you sign in on, and in the browser version:

  • your preferences;
  • your stamps (pictures and one-page PDFs);
  • signature appearances;
  • saved actions (Action Wizard);
  • redaction code sets;
  • your personal spelling dictionary.

Your documents never sync, and neither do recent files, file paths, AI keys, ChatGPT sign-ins, digital IDs and their keys, passwords or trusted certificates.

The app syncs when it starts, a few seconds after you change one of these, every 15 minutes while it’s open, and when you choose Sync now in the account menu (your initials). Offline, it tries again later by itself; the account menu says Not synced yet until it can. Synced settings can take up to 25 MB in all.

To stop syncing but stay signed in, turn sync off in Edit › Preferences › Account.

Sign out

  • In the app: choose your initials at the right of the top bar, then Sign out.
  • From anywhere else: on your account page, under Signed-in apps, choose Sign out next to the computer. Use this for a computer you no longer have. That computer stops syncing at once and has to sign in again.

Changing your password signs out your signed-in apps too.

Delete your synced settings

On your account page, choose Delete synced data. Your apps keep their own copies; turn sync off in them first, or a signed-in app sends its copy again at its next sync. Deleting your account deletes your synced settings too. See the Privacy Policy for what’s kept and why.
