Compare the three behaviors
These settings control Capriole chat-history persistence. Model requests still travel through Capriole and the selected inference provider. The settings do not make a general compliance or zero-operational-record promise.

Open Account
Select your avatar or name at the bottom of the Capriole AI sidebar, then select Account from the menu. Scroll to the Settings section.You should see Enable No Storage above Enable local storage.
Keep account-synced history
Leave Enable No Storage and Enable local storage off. New chat history is stored with your account, can sync across devices, and can use saved uploads. Choose this behavior for work you expect to reopen from another browser or device. If another storage mode is enabled, turn it off. A chat that was intentionally deleted or lost from browser data cannot be recreated by changing the setting back.Keep history in this browser
Turn on Enable local storage. The active storage behavior changes to browser-only history. Conversations remain available in the current browser and can still appear in its history list. They do not sync to another device, and file uploads are disabled. Turn Enable local storage off to use default account-synced storage for new work.Start a No Storage session

Send messages without attaching files. The current conversation exists for the active page session and disappears after you leave or refresh the page.Turn Enable No Storage off when you want new chats to use default account-synced history again. Previously deleted conversations do not return.
Choose by consequence
Changing models does not override the storage setting. The model-switching article explains how a supported model can handle the next turn inside an active conversation.
Default synced storage is also required for Browser Chat attachments. The files and web search guide covers supported formats, size limits, and source inspection.
