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.

GitHub release (latest SemVer) GitHub stars MIT License

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.
