If you've ever copy-pasted a layout JSON file between two of your Divi sites, you've felt the pain Divi Cloud solves. Divi Cloud is a cloud sync service from Elegant Themes that stores your layouts, modules, sections, and Theme Builder templates online — making them instantly available on every Divi site connected to your account.
We've used Divi Cloud at Nicada Digital for nearly two years across dozens of client sites. Here's our honest review of what it does well, where it falls short, and whether the price is worth it in 2026.
Quick verdict:
If you manage more than one Divi site — especially as a freelancer or agency — Divi Cloud is genuinely transformational. It pays for itself in saved time within weeks. For solo site owners with one site, it's a useful backup but not essential. Score: 9/10 for agencies, 6/10 for solo users.
What Is Divi Cloud?
Divi Cloud is a cloud storage service built into the Divi theme. When you save a layout, module, section, page template, or Theme Builder template to the Cloud, it's available on any other Divi site where you're logged in with the same Elegant Themes account.
Think of it like Dropbox for Divi assets. The interface lives inside the Divi Builder — you save and load with a click.
What Can You Sync to Divi Cloud?
- Page layouts — entire pages saved and reusable
- Sections — reusable sections (testimonials, CTAs, hero blocks)
- Rows — smaller building blocks
- Modules — individual styled modules (e.g. your branded button)
- Theme Builder templates — complete header, footer, blog post templates
- Presets — saved style presets for modules
- Code snippets — reusable code blocks (Pro plan)
This last item is huge for agencies — build your tracking pixel snippet, GDPR script, or analytics code once, sync everywhere.
Divi Cloud Pricing 2026
| Plan | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Divi Pro (includes Cloud) | $277/year | Active users wanting AI + Cloud + VIP |
| Divi Cloud standalone | $8/month or $72/year | Existing Divi users who only want sync |
| Divi Cloud (annual upgrade) | +$72/year on top of Divi licence | Adding to existing $89 Divi plan |
If you're already considering Divi Pro for the AI features, Cloud is essentially free. For users on the standard $89/year or $249 lifetime plans, the standalone pricing is fair.

Real-World Use Cases (From an Agency)
Case 1: Branded Header Across 30 Client Sites
Without Cloud: design header, export JSON, import on each site, update each time the client's brand changes. Multiply by 30 sites = days of work per change.
With Cloud: save header to Cloud once. Every site pulls the latest version with one click. Update once = update everywhere. We've cut header rebuilds from days to minutes.
Case 2: Reusable Testimonial Section
Our standard "social proof" section — a 3-column row with photo, name, quote, and star rating — lives in the Cloud. Every new client site gets it dropped in within seconds. We update the design twice a year and every site benefits.
Case 3: Disaster Recovery
A client's site got hacked. Their entire Divi Library was wiped. Because we'd saved their custom modules to Cloud, restoration took 15 minutes instead of 2 days.
Case 4: Onboarding New Team Members
When new designers join Nicada Digital, they log into Divi Cloud and immediately have access to every reusable template, module, and snippet we've built. No more "where do I find that hero section we use on every site?"
Pros
- Massive time savings for anyone managing multiple Divi sites
- Cleaner than JSON exports — no file management, no version confusion
- Excellent backup function — protects you from data loss
- Team-ready — share an Elegant Themes account and Cloud syncs to everyone
- Works with Divi 5 — full compatibility, no migration needed
- Code snippet sync — underrated feature for tracking pixels and integrations
Cons
- Subscription fee — if you're outside Pro plan, $72/year on top of your Divi licence stings a bit
- Internet required — if your connection drops mid-edit, save fails until you reconnect
- Limited collaboration features — no edit history, no per-user permissions
- Cloud-only files can't be exported as JSON in the same way as local Library items (workaround exists but it's clunky)
- No mobile app — you can't manage Cloud assets from a phone
Divi Cloud vs Divi Library: Which to Use?
| Feature | Divi Library (Local) | Divi Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free with Divi | $72/year or Pro plan |
| Where stored | Each site's database | Elegant Themes servers |
| Sync between sites | Manual export/import | Automatic |
| Backup | Lost if site dies | Survives site loss |
| Best for | Single-site users | Multi-site users, agencies |
Most professionals use both: Library for site-specific items, Cloud for cross-site reusable assets.
Setting Up Divi Cloud
- Log into your Elegant Themes account — ensure your subscription includes Cloud (Pro plan or standalone Cloud add-on).
- In WordPress, go to Divi → Theme Options → Updates and enter your username + API key.
- Open the Visual Builder on any page. The Cloud tab appears in the layout menu (the cloud icon).
- Save existing items to Cloud by clicking the upload icon next to any module, row, section, or page in your Library.
- On a different site — once logged in — the same items appear instantly under the Cloud tab.
Tips for Getting the Most From Divi Cloud
- Use folders — organise by client, project type, or component (e.g. "Headers", "Testimonials", "CTAs")
- Tag your items — quicker to find with consistent tagging
- Version your important items — e.g. "Hero 2026 v2" so you know what's current
- Sync your Theme Builder templates — this alone justifies the subscription
- Audit quarterly — delete outdated items so the library stays clean
Who Should Buy Divi Cloud?
Agencies and Freelancers
Buy it. If you manage three or more Divi sites, Cloud pays for itself in days. Get it via the Pro plan or as a standalone. See our Divi for agencies guide and Divi for freelancers guide.
Multi-Business Owners
Buy it. If you run a main site and a couple of side projects, Cloud lets you maintain consistent branding across all of them effortlessly.
Solo Site Owners
Skip it (probably). If you have one site and no plans for more, the Library is sufficient. Revisit Cloud when you launch site #2.
Web Design Students / Hobbyists
Skip for now. Master Divi first using the Library, upgrade to Cloud when you're building for clients.
How Divi Cloud Compares to Alternatives
There's nothing quite like Divi Cloud in the WordPress ecosystem. Other page builders have their equivalents:
- Elementor Cloud — bundled hosting + Elementor Pro, more expensive at $99/yr but includes hosting
- Beaver Builder — no native cloud sync; relies on third-party plugins
- Bricks — no equivalent feature
- Generic backup plugins — can replicate Cloud's backup function but not the sync workflow
For comparisons of the underlying builders, see our Divi vs Elementor and Divi vs Bricks guides.
FAQs
Is Divi Cloud worth the money?
For agencies and freelancers managing multiple sites, absolutely. The time savings compound week after week. For solo site owners, it's a nice-to-have, not essential.
Does Divi Cloud back up my entire site?
No — it backs up Divi assets (layouts, modules, sections, templates), not your full WordPress database, plugins, or media. Use a dedicated backup plugin like UpdraftPlus or BlogVault for full backups.
Can multiple users share a Divi Cloud account?
Yes — share your Elegant Themes login with team members and they'll all see the same Cloud assets. There's no per-user permission system, so use with trusted teams only.
Does Divi Cloud work offline?
No — it requires an internet connection to save and load. If you're offline, use the local Library instead.
Can I cancel Divi Cloud and keep my saved layouts?
You'll lose Cloud access but can download your items as JSON before cancelling. Re-import them locally to your Divi Library.
Is Divi Cloud secure?
Yes. Elegant Themes uses encrypted storage and standard security practices. We've not had a single Cloud-related incident in two years of use.
Conclusion
Divi Cloud isn't glamorous, but it's the kind of tool that quietly transforms how you work. If you build more than one Divi site, it'll save you hundreds of hours over a few years — and protect you from a few panic-inducing disasters along the way.
The cleanest way to get Cloud is via the Divi Pro plan, which bundles it with Divi AI and VIP support for $277/year — an easy decision for serious users.
