Hello,
You have to remember that clips are real Windows files. Therefore, they can be used as files on different computers (laptops, smartphones, or other devices).
Let's look at an example that demonstrates how to share clips.
For example, you use the ClipClip app on your computer (Windows OS):
- Copy text data (URL, password, address, etc.) in any document/web page/application and as a result, a new clip will be created in the 'Latest Clips' folder.
- Install any web service (OneDrive, GoogleDrive. Dropbox, etc.) on this computer;
- Create a new 'ClipClip Data' folder (or many different folders) in the folder hierarchy of this web service to sync it;
- Connect this 'ClipClip Data' folder (which is already automatically synced by the installed web service ) to the ClipClip app. To do this, use the 'Add root folder...' command in the main menu (example: https://i.imgur.com/rWJkXkb.gif);
- Move the newly created clip to the 'ClipClip Data' folder in the main window on the ClipClip app. Click this link to view this action (example: https://i.imgur.com/HXsVHM2.gif);
- On another computer (laptop, smartphone, etc.), install the same web service (OneDrive, GoogleDrive. Dropbox, etc.) where is placed the 'ClipClip Data' folder on your computer;
That's all.
Once you move the clip(s) to the 'ClipClip Data' folder in the main window of the ClipClip app, this clip(s) (as a file) will be automatically synced/copied to the cloud by the web service, and as a result, it will be added to the 'ClipClip Data' folder on another computer (laptop, smartphone, etc.).
So now, on another computer (laptop, smartphone, etc.), you can open this clip/file and use its content (URL, password, address, etc.) for your needs.
NOTE: In addition, you can install the ClipClip app on another computer (Windows OS) and connect the 'ClipClip Data' folder to this app. In this case, the clips will be automatically synced between two ClipClip apps on different computers (both Windows OS).
The main idea of the clips is that they contain copied data and they are real Windows files that are saved on the hard drive.
As a result, you can rename, edit, change, or delete them directly in File Explorer. The internal editors have been implemented as very simple tools to edit clip content. You can edit clips in any other applications like Photoshop, Word, Notepad, etc.

Please review a new "ClipClip User Manual" document that describes the main features of the ClipClip app in more detail - in your case, please review the 'How to share saved clips' paragraph:

Here is a GIF image that demonstrates several ways of clip-pasting (this is the old ClipClip version but all these options are in the new one as well):
