obsidian-cloud-attach
Obsidian plugin that connects to OpenList/WebDAV services and object storage (S3), letting you insert cloud files directly into your notes. Free up local space.
Background
- A firm believer in the 'Zero-Attachment' workflow in Obsidian.
- Heavy OpenList user
- Former e-commerce practitioner, zero coding background
- Built entirely with 🦞 (AI-assisted), token consumption: ~95M and counting
Features
- 🌐 WebDAV Protocol — Compatible with OpenList, theoretically supports all WebDAV services (Alist, Synology, QNAP, etc.)
- 🌐 S3 Object Storage — Compatible with Cloudflare R2, theoretically supports AWS and most S3-compatible services
- 📂 Sidebar Browser — Browse cloud directories directly in the Obsidian sidebar
- 📝 One-Click Insert — Click to insert Markdown links; supports single and batch insertion
- ⬆️ Upload Attachments — Upload local attachments to the server and update references, saving local space
- 🔗 Signed URLs — Auto-generate URLs with sign tokens
- 🖼️ Media Preview — Image preview, video/audio playback, document iframe preview
- 👤 Multi-Account — Manage multiple WebDAV/S3 accounts simultaneously
Note: Object storage may not support iframe preview due to provider restrictions. A workaround is to mount object storage via OpenList and use its iframe preview.
