Cloudinary supports having multiple 'clouds' united under a joint subscription (Cloudinary account). This feature is available for Plus plans or higher, allowing for an even simpler separation between development and production assets or other methodological criteria.
If you are on the Plus plan or higher, then this feature is already available for you as self-service, via the account settings page.
Tips for generating new sub-accounts:
- Select your desired cloud-name (or one will be randomly picked for you)
- Optionally choose a name for the sub-account (this name will only be used within the console)
- Optionally select an existing sub-account to be used as reference for setting limits and other custom configurations.
A few alternative solutions (for lower-tier plans) are:
- Opening a new account for each environment (dev, staging, production) or each application.
- Naming convention of public IDs (or folders) to reflect the different environments.
- Assigning different tags to uploaded images. Use 'tags' to uploaded images (‘dev’,‘staging’, ‘production’).

if you are using Heroku,
Add cloudinary on the production server only,
staging server don't need to add it
This article is bogus. There are no such options found in the Cloudinary account settings. Please add some screenshots or very proper steps when you intend to help someone.
Thanks.
Hi @Prathmesh,
One reason you may not see those options is if you are on an account plan that doesn't support additional clouds - such as the Free plan.
Could you please share your cloud name and I can check that for you?
If you prefer to share that with us directly, then please raise a ticket by using - https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
