Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use CloudMagic?
To get super fast instant search results for your online data.
What are the advantages of using CloudMagic instead of the search provided by the individual services?
CloudMagic provides search across multiple services, viz. Twitter, Gmail, Google Apps Email, Google Docs, Calendar & Contacts. You get a unified view of the search results. CloudMagic also shows search results as you type. Additionally, you can configure multiple accounts, say - your personal & official accounts to get combined result.
Which platforms and services are supported by CloudMagic?
CloudMagic is a browser extension for Chrome & Firefox. The currently supported platforms are Windows XP and above, Mac OS X 10.5+ & Linux (32- & 64-bit) kernel versions 2.4.x and above. We currently support Twitter, Gmail, Google Apps Email, Google Docs, Calendar & Contacts.
Why is this a browser extension and not a regular desktop application?
We found that a browser extension is extremely easy to install and update. Using the extension also allows us to deeply integrate CloudMagic's functionality with the original service. In future, we might develop a desktop application.
Does CloudMagic support offline search?
Yes, CloudMagic supports offline search from version 2.60 onwards.
What are future plans of CloudMagic?
Please read this blog post.
I don't like providing my passwords to CloudMagic.
CloudMagic stores your password & data locally, similar to a regular desktop email client like Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. It is never shared with any third party servers including ours.
Will it consume a lot of resources on my computer?
Only relevant text data is indexed so that the size of index is only a fraction of your total data. For example, we don't index attachments, images or any binary (non-text) data. Now that hard drive space has become so cheap, keeping a search index in your hard-disk is no longer a concern.
Does CloudMagic work with Google Apps account?
Yes.
