Aktar for Obsidian
Aktar comes to Obsidian. The plugin keeps your attachments in your own bucket instead of the vault, so notes stay small and keep syncing the way they do now, and every link is a plain https:// URL that works with or without the plugin. It uses the same destinations as the Aktar apps: add one with a transfer code from your Mac, PC or phone, or pair with Aktar for Mac or Windows in one click. Install Aktar from Obsidian's community plugins, and see everything it does on the Obsidian page.
- Obsidian0.2.3
Paste, drop or move
A pasted or dropped file goes into the note as a placeholder at once and becomes a link when it's uploaded, also after going offline or restarting Obsidian. To move the attachments you already have, a dry run first lists every file and every note that changes. Every link is rewritten with its size and caption, links in front matter, code and canvases are left alone, and any move can be undone.
Your bucket, inside Obsidian
The library in the side panel shows which bucket files your notes use, the bucket's folders and the upload queue, and finds the files no note links any more. Right-click a link to copy a temporary one, bring the file back into the vault or delete it from the bucket. Private buckets work too: notes keep plain links and the plugin signs them on the device.
Keys that stay on the device
Destinations sync with the vault, keys don't. They're kept in Obsidian's secret storage on each device, and each device gets them once with a transfer code. Paired with the Aktar app on a Mac or PC, Obsidian never sees them at all.
